This dissertation on schooling performance and income inequality includes three essays. The first essay finds that increase in school expenditures can reduce high school students dropout rates, but it has limited effects on students test scores. To avoid endogeneity problem for the school budget expenditures, this study examines the result of school district's budget votes on school expenditures over 450 school districts in New York. Under the results of budget referendum, this study utilizes a regression discontinuity to evaluate the effect of school expenditures on students' performance. The second essay investigates the wage trend in the U.S. manufacturing over the past two decades. This study assumes that skill biased technological change played an important role in the recent evolution of wage structure. To evaluate this hypothesis, this study divides the manufacturing into High Tech and Low Tech manufacturing sectors. This study finds that the evolution of wage inequality shows different trends and the difference in patterns depends on the level of technological change for each industry. The third essay utilizes patent data to explain change in income inequality or wage structure over the last 20 years. It is challenging to find a perfect measure for technological change. The number of patent applications is utilized as measurement for the technological change. This study attempts to shed light on the source of the change in income dispersion by exploiting the patent application data for 194 industrial sectors. This study concludes that technological change causes an increase in the earning of highly educated workers relative to less educated workers, harms older skilled workers, and the evolution of wage inequality within industry is strongly tied to technological change.
