How Instructors Make a Difference: Panel Data Estimates from Principles of Economic Courses

Michael Watts and William Bosshardt

The Review of Economics and Statistics, 1991, vol. 73, issue 2, 336-40

Abstract: Differences in student learning associated with different instructors in three types of principles of economics courses are estimated using a fixed- and random-effects specification for an educational production function. Results show a wide variance in these instructor effects and that this variance increases directly with the amount of latitude instructors are given in the classroom. Copyright 1991 by MIT Press.
