how much more does a Disadvantaged Student cost
Economics of Education Review, 2005Co-Authors: William Duncombe, John YingerAbstract:Abstract This paper provides a guide to statistically based methods for estimating the extra costs of educating Disadvantaged Students, shows how these methods are related, and compares state aid programs that account for these costs in different ways. We show how pupil weights, which are included in many state aid programs, can be estimated from an education cost equation, which many scholars use to obtain an education cost index. We also devise a method to estimate pupil weights directly. Using data from New York State, we show that the distribution of state aid is similar with either statistically based pupil weights or an educational cost index. Finally, we show that large, urban school districts with a high concentration of Disadvantaged Students would receive far more aid (and rich suburban districts would receive far less aid) if statistically based pupil weights were used instead of the ad hoc weights in existing state aid programs.

the impact of conditional cash transfers on the matriculation of junior high school Students into rural china s high schools
Journal of Development Effectiveness, 2017Co-Authors: Yingquan Song, Jianguo Wei, Linxiu Zhang, Yaojiang Shi, James Chu, Natalie Johnson, Prashant Loyalka, Scott RozelleAbstract:The goal of this study is to examine whether promising a conditional cash transfer (conditional on matriculation) at the start of junior high school increases the rate at which Disadvantaged Students matriculate into high school. Based on a randomised controlled trial (RCT) involving 1418 Disadvantaged (economically poor) Students in rural China, we find that a CCT voucher has no effect on increasing high school matriculation for the average Disadvantaged Student. The CCT voucher also has no differential impact on Students at any point in the distribution of baseline academic achievement. This result suggests that CCTs, while shown to be effective in many contexts, do not always work.

the impact of conditional cash transfers on the matriculation of junior high school Students into rural china s high schools
Research Papers in Economics, 2015Co-Authors: Yingquan Song, Jianguo Wei, Linxiu Zhang, Yaojiang Shi, James Chu, Natalie Johnson, Prashant Loyalka, Scott RozelleAbstract:The goal of this study is to examine whether promising a Conditional Cash Transfer(conditional on matriculation) at the start of junior high increases the rate at which Disadvantaged Students matriculate in to high school. Based on a randomized controlled trial involving 1,418 Disadvantaged (economically poor) Students in rural China, we find that the promise a CCT has no effect on increasing high school matriculation for the average Disadvantaged Student. We do find, however, that providing the CCT increases high school matriculation among the subset of Disadvantaged Students who overestimate the direct costs of attending high school.

Universities' approach to educationally Disadvantaged Students
2017Co-Authors: Hromada JanAbstract:The diploma thesis deals with educationally Disadvantaged Student at public universities in Czechia. Thesis presumes the existence of educational inequality in Czech educational system and the effect of disadvantages based on attained education level of Student's parents. These inequalities hadn't significantly changed even after the massification of tertiary education sector. The population of educationally Disadvantaged in the thesis is equivalent to first generation Student population, meaning the families with unattained tertiary education level. The main objective is to find out designs of policies targeting this group and to explore perception of the population. To achieve the goal, the thesis is using social construction of target framework. In this way, designs of applied policies are analyzed and the social construction of the target population is defined. The thesis uses qualitative research methods, using thematic document analysis of annual reports and long-term plans of all public universities and then uses the academic senate reports and semi-structured interviews with universities' representatives with selection of cases regarding the first analysis findings. The results show that educationally Disadvantaged population remains undefined and there is a general lack of relevant..
