Abstract

Contradictory evidence of the relationship between education funding and student achievement could reflect heterogeneous effects by revenue source or student characteristics. This study examines potential heterogeneous effects of a particular type of local revenue—bond funds for capital investments—on achievement by socioeconomic status. Comparing California school districts within a narrow window on either side of the cutoff of voter support required to pass a general obligation bond measure, I use dynamic regression discontinuity models to estimate effects of passing a bond on academic achievement among low- and high-socioeconomic-status (SES) students. Results consistently suggest that passing a bond increases achievement among low- but not high-SES students. However, these benefits for low-SES students are delayed and emerge six years after an election. Effects are larger in low-income districts and in small districts, where benefits of capital investments are experienced by a larger proportion of students.
延迟收益:加州学区债券选举对社会经济地位成就的影响
教育经费与学生成绩关系的矛盾证据可能反映了收入来源或学生特征的异质效应。本研究考察了一种特殊类型的地方收入——用于资本投资的债券基金——对社会经济地位成就的潜在异质性影响。在通过一般义务债券措施所需的选民支持截止时间两侧的狭窄窗口内比较加州学区,我使用动态回归不连续模型来估计通过债券对低社会经济地位(SES)和高社会经济地位(SES)学生学业成绩的影响。结果一致表明,在社会经济地位低而不是高的学生中,通过债券考试会提高他们的成绩。然而,低经济地位学生的这些好处被推迟到选举六年后才会显现。在低收入地区和小地区,影响更大,在这些地区,更多的学生享受到资本投资的好处。

期刊介绍: Sociology of Education (SOE) provides a forum for studies in the sociology of education and human social development. SOE publishes research that examines how social institutions and individuals’ experiences within these institutions affect educational processes and social development. Such research may span various levels of analysis, ranging from the individual to the structure of relations among social and educational institutions. In an increasingly complex society, important educational issues arise throughout the life cycle.
