Book excerpt: This thesis consists of three chapters on education finance. I examine the funding systems that support public education provision in the United States, consider the incentives and constraints facing government actors within those systems, and identify policy interventions with the potential to allocate public funds more efficiently and improve student outcomes. The first chapter discusses financial aid policy in the higher education setting, while the second and third chapters study state and local financing of primary and secondary schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook presents in-depth research conducted on a myriad of issues within the field of financial literacy. Split into six sections, it starts by presenting prevalent conceptions of financial literacy before covering financial literacy in the policy context, the state and development of financial literacy within different countries, issues of assessment and evaluation of financial literacy, approaches to teaching financial literacy, and teacher training and teacher education in financial literacy. In doing so, it provides precise definitions of the construct of financial literacy and elaborates on the state and recent developments of financial literacy around the world, to show ways of measuring and fostering financial literacy and to give hints towards necessary and successful teacher trainings. The book also embraces the diversity in the field by revealing contrasting and conflicting views that cannot be bridged, while at the same time making a contribution by re-joining existing materials in one volume which can be used in academic discourse, in research-workshops, in university lectures and in the definition of program initiatives within the wider field of financial literacy. It allows for a landscape of financial literacy to be depicted which would foster the implementation of learning opportunities for human beings for sake of well-being within financial living-conditions. The Handbook is useful to academics and students of the topic, professionals in the sector of investment and banking, and for every person responsible for managing his or her financial affairs in everyday life.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School quality exerts a significant impact on children well beyond their school-age years. High quality primary and secondary schools improve educational attainment, reduce criminal behavior, and increase labor market performance. Decades of federal and state policy efforts have sought to ensure broad access to effective schools. Two of the most consequential reform efforts of the past thirty years, school accountability and financial adequacy reforms, have been moderately successful at raising average performance on standardized tests of literacy and numeracy, yet critics contend that these gains mask serious limitations. In the pages that follow, I address salient concerns of each policy by analyzing the impact of No Child Left Behind on social emotional development and the impact of California’s recent school finance reform, the Local Control Funding Formula. I conclude with an assessment of publication bias in policy-relevant scholarship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education finance researchers tend to organize their thoughts on important issues by considering one of the four foundational perspectives: equity, efficiency, liberty, and adequacy. The six essays presented in this special edition of the Peabody Journal of Education base their work within the context of the four pillars and present new directions for future research. While some of the articles isolate a concept for closer scrutiny, others draw attention to more interactive aspects of the pillars in question. Each article leaves the reader with important information and insightful questions about both the usuage and efficacy of education finance policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation includes three chapters public finance and the economics of education. It examines questions regarding the less tangible inputs into the education production function including school climate, morale, and peer effects. In the first chapter, I examine the impacts of school bond measures in California. California school districts spent over $6 billion in capital spending in 2014 and voted on 1,966 school bond measures between 1995 and 2016 meant to finance capital spending, yet it is unclear from the literature what effect capital spending has on student outcomes or whether there are other effects caused by passing school bond measures. I expand this literature by looking at the effect of passing school bond measures on standardized test scores in California using a dynamic regression discontinuity design. I find considerable increases in capital spending after a bond measure passes that is largely explained by spending on construction. I also find a large positive and immediate divergence in test scores and in proficiency rates between the districts close to the vote-share threshold that pass and that fail to pass school bond measures. This divergence starts the year of the elections and is difficult to explain based on the change in capital spending. Furthermore, this effect lasts several years. I further explore this effect by looking at the effects on teacher and staff turnover. My second chapter is a descriptive study of the birth impacts of the dragon year of the Chinese zodiac. In Chinese culture, children born during the year of the dragon are thought to be luckier and more successful. This leads to increases in fertility for Chinese parents in that year as well as possible changes in how those children are raised. Several studies have argued either that differences between children born during the dragon years are driven by increases in parental involvement or that dragon years can be used as a source of exogenous changes in Chinese populations. I explore these findings by looking at birth outcomes to Chinese mothers in the United States. I find that children born to Chinese mothers during dragon years are healthier at birth than those born to Chinese mothers in other zodiac years. I also find that there is selection into Chinese mothers who have children during dragon years with those mothers tending to be more educated and have had more previous children. In the third chapter, I investigate the effects of peer quality from an increase in classroom diversity using variation induced by the Chinese zodiac. In Chinese culture, children born during the year of the dragon are thought to be luckier and more successful. Other work has shown that there are differences between Chinese children born during the year of the dragon and those born in other zodiac years, and that in China parents of dragon children are more involved in their schooling. There are also increases in fertility to Chinese parents during the year of the dragon. Here I look first at the combined peer effects from the increase in the number of Chinese students and the the differences in Chinese students during dragon years. Then I isolate how those differences affects their peers by controlling for the percentage of Chinese students. Using standardized test scores in California, I find that exposure to Chinese students born during the year of the dragon lowers the standardized test scores of other students in their schools. This is effect is particularly pronounced in Hispanic students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local government spending on K-12 public education typically comprises almost half of total spending on K-12 public education in the United States. Local governments typically rely on funds from property tax levies to finance the yearly operating budget for local public schools in their district. These property taxes are often the outcome of a process that is political in nature, since local tax levies may be subject to a voter referendum. This dissertation gives new contributions to the study of these voter referenda and their implications for public finance using both theoretical and empirical approaches.In an economic downtown, the question of how local funding for schools responds to losses in state aid and disposable income becomes even more pressing. Using an agenda setter model with uncertainty over voter turnout, I develop a systematic approach to analyzing the effects of income and grant aid changes on local property tax levies, overall funding for schools, and the probability of referenda passing. The analysis uses certain properties of indifference curves for normal goods. I also show that budget-maximizing school boards in homogeneous districts choose budget proposals that have high rates of voter support.The empirical chapter provides an investigation of the outcomes of New Jersey K-12 public school budget referenda. For failed budget proposals, school budget cuts are determined by local governing bodies whose decisions are not specified by law. Using a unique compilation of voting, demographic, and school finance data including school budget proposals and outcomes, this study tests and supports the hypothesis that local governing bodies choose larger reductions for those budget proposals that are larger and more unpopular. Additionally, I analyze the voter support for the referendum and test whether larger proposed tax levies are associated with higher levels of voter opposition. I find that the effect of a larger proposal on the level of voter opposition depends on the circumstances that surround the larger proposal, and I propose two theories that explain the different effects. Furthermore, I find that the level of educational attainment of a district is an important predictor for school budget referendum success.

Book excerpt: Incomparable Poetry: An Essay on the Financial Crisis of 2007-2008 and Irish Literature is an attempt to describe the ways in which the financial crisis of 2007-8 impacted literature in Ireland, and thereby describe the ways in which poetry engages with, is structured by, and wrestles with economic issues.Ireland and its contemporary poetry is a particularly suitable case study for studying the effect of the economic crisis on Anglophone poetry, because poetry in Ireland has a special relationship to the state and economy due to its status as a postcolonial nation-state. Beginning with a summary of recent Irish economic and cultural history, and moving across experimental and mainstream poetry, this essay outlines how the poetry of Trevor Joyce, Leontia Flynn, Dave Lordan, and Rachel Warriner addresses in its form and content the boom years of the Celtic Tiger and the financial crisis.Incomparable Poetry also discusses the concerns and historical contexts these poets have turned to in order to make sense of these events - including Chinese history, accountancy, sexual violence, and Iceland's economic history. In contemporary Irish poetry, the author argues, we see a significant interest in matching capitalism's accounting abilities, but in this attempt, these poems often end up broken by the imposition of an external conceptual framework or economic logic. Robert Kiely grew up in Cork, Ireland and now lives in London. His critical work has been published in Irish University Review, Journal of British and Irish Innovative Poetry, The Parish Review, and Samuel Beckett Today/Aujourd'hui. His chapbooks include How to Read (Crater, 2017) and Killing the Cop in Your Head (Sad, 2017). He is Poet-in-Residence at University of Surrey for 2019-20.
