Thesis (Ph.D.)--Harvard University, 2004.

This dissertation contains three essays related to the finance and production of public education in the United States. The first essay is an empirical study of how teachers affect the academic achievement of their students, and what characteristics of teachers predict teaching quality. By using panel data on students and teachers, I am able to overcome several of the empirical obstacles facing earlier research on this subject. In my second essay I examine how property taxation and local public spending on education respond to fiscal incentives generated by a property tax relief program in New York State. I also examine how the response of local taxation and spending depend upon the distribution of fiscal incentives among groups within the local community, e.g., homeowners versus renters, elderly versus non-elderly, etc. My third essay is coauthored with Caroline Hoxby. It focuses on the achievement on students who enroll in charter schools, specifically, students in the largest charter school system in the United States, located in Chicago. These schools use lotteries to select their students, and we use this randomized admissions policy to identify the effect of charter school enrollment on student achievement.
