Location Effects and the Determination of Beginning Teacher Salaries: Evidence from Ohio.

Wagner, Gary A.; Porter, Tod S.

Education Economics, v8 n1 p109-27 Aug 2000

Uses a (spatial-econometric) location weighing variable to examine how starting teacher salaries in one Ohio district are influenced by other regional starting salaries. A $1 increase in a neighboring district generates a $.51 to $.96 increase. Size and distance factors help account for spill-over effects. (Contains 34 references.) (MLH)
