Working Paper 255, "Racial Disparities in School Poverty and Spending: Examining Allocations Within and Across Districts," by Bob Bifulco and Sarah Souders.
This working paper uses recently available school-level finance data to compare exposure to low-income classmates and average per pupil spending for black, Hispanic, and white students.
Working Paper 254, "Robust Dynamic Space-Time Panel Data Models Using ε- contamination: An Application to Crop Yields and Climate Change" by Badi H. Baltagi, Georges Bresson, Anoop Chaturvedi, and Guy Lacroix.
This working paper extends the Baltagi et al. (2018, 2021) static and dynamic ε-contamination papers to dynamic space-time models.
Working Paper 253, "Model Minorities in the Classroom? Positive Evaluation Bias towards Asian Students and its Consequences," by Ying Shi and Maria Zhu. This working paper suggests that the “model minority” stereotype can negatively impact other minority groups despite its ostensibly positive connotation.
Faculty in the Center for Policy Research (CPR) conduct a broad range of interdisciplinary research related to public policy in the following research areas:
Integrating policy, political and computational sciences in research and instruction to help scientists, practitioners and future public service leaders understand and address future governance challenges.
Empowering breakthrough research, scholarship and debate about the cause and consequences of educational inequality and policies to address these inequalities.
Partnering with the public and nonprofit sectors, the X Lab leverages behavioral science and randomized controlled trials to create cost-effective solutions to complex problems.
The Center serves students, graduates and faculty for a lifetime and it's our pleasure to spread the word about the wonderful things going on in CPR and throughout the Maxwell School.
