There is substantial variability in the degree to which the SAT and high school grade point average (HSGPA) predict first-year college performance at different institutions. This paper demonstrates the usefulness of multilevel modeling as a tool to uncover institutional characteristics that are associated with this variability. In a model that…

Peer reviewedMancebon, Maria-Jesus; Bandres, Eduardo – Education Economics, 1999
Evaluates efficiency of a sample of Spanish secondary schools, focusing on the measurement model's theoretical specification and the "ex post" analysis of results. Highlights characteristics that differentiate the most efficient schools from the least efficient. Stresses the importance of employing information supplied by both…

Peer reviewedKoshal, Rajindar K.; Koshal, Manjulika – Education Economics, 1999
Builds a model explaining the behavior of the supply and demand for education at U.S. liberal arts colleges. A statistical analysis of 1990-91 data for 338 private liberal arts institutions suggests a perfectly competitive market. Student quantity, costs, test scores, class size, and college rankings help explain tuition variations. Contains 27…

Bessant, A.; And Others – 1981
To assess the productivity of 167 Houston elementary schools, researchers applied a fractional linear programming procedure called Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to each school's inputs and outputs. School output was measured by third- and sixth-graders' scores on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS). Input resources comprised pupil…
