We introduce a novel multi-dimensional regression discontinuity design to analyze close legislative elections from 1987 to 2019 and find that the impact of Democratic control of state government depends on election timing. Democratic state houses appropriate fewer dollars to K-12 education following a presidential election year, but significantly more during off-cycle elections. These patterns are magnified—for both K-12 and higher education—when Democrats control both legislative chambers.

Special education (SE) can potentially improve outcomes for these children, but identifying and providing services to eligible students is problematic, particularly for low-income children and children with “invisible” or “malleable” disabilities like dyslexia, anxiety, or ADHD. At the same time, there is no consensus that SE enrollment is uniformly positive. There are concerns about stigma, bias in the process, and the impact of expanding SE budgets on general education funding. Exploiting variation in expansions to Medicaid eligibility by state, year, and age, we find that increases in Medicaid eligibility generated increased average rates of SE enrollment, with effects concentrated among elementary school children, those with malleable disabilities, and those for whom Medicaid expansions were on the intensive margin (gaining additional years of Medicaid eligibility) rather than in the extensive margin (gaining initial eligibility for Medicaid). At the same time, however, children who had more early childhood Medicaid eligibility before they started elementary school were less likely to be enrolled in SE than their peers, implying that gaining access to Medicaid in early childhood generated access to screening and treatment that reduced the need for SE support in elementary school. Because federal law requires that Medicaid be the primary payer to schools that provide SE services, the estimates suggest that by dramatically reducing SE enrollment among those with more early childhood Medicaid eligibility and by modestly expanding SE enrollment on the intensive margin, Medicaid expansions likely mitigated the impacts of SE spending on general education budgets.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48261,"journal":{"name":"Economics of Education Review","volume":"105 ","pages":"Article 102634"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143348496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We use administrative records to compile a county-level panel of school supply and attainment for 13 cohorts between 1995 and 2007. Cross-sectionally, the supplies of all three school types awarding the university-entrance certificate correlate positively with its attainment. However, for academic-track and comprehensive schools this association is not robust to the inclusion of regional controls, suggesting that it reflects regional differences in educational demand rather than supply-side effects. For vocational high schools, in contrast, we find robust evidence for positive attainment effects not only in cross-sectional and two-way fixed-effects panel regressions, but also in an event-study design that exploits the quasi-random timing of new school openings. Likely reasons for their success are that they lower the (perceived) costs of educational upgrading for late-bloomers, and their hybrid curriculum, which may retain students in general schooling who would otherwise enter vocational training.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48261,"journal":{"name":"Economics of Education Review","volume":"104 ","pages":"Article 102608"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143140943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
