Heterogeneous Trends in U.S. Teacher Quality 1980-2010 Education Economics 23,6 (November 2015): 645-659. Also: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09645292.2014.996120 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: Carfax Publishing Company ==> Taylor & Francis Keyword(s): Armed Forces Qualifications Test (AFQT); Cognitive Ability; Heterogeneity; Occupations Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper documents changes in the entire ability distribution of individuals entering the teaching profession using the 1979 and 1997 cohorts of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and a constructed Armed Force Qualifying Test score that allows direct comparison of ability between cohorts. Such direct comparison between cohorts was previously not possible due to a lack of directly comparable measures of ability. I find there are minimal differences in the ability distribution between cohorts. However, this similarity masks vast differences within specific demographics. I then also decompose these changes into cohort-wide shifts and within-cohort shifts of teachers. |
