Black–White Achievement Differences and Governmental Interventions
研究评估政府或家庭因素能否解释黑人与白人学业成就差距，发现学校支出水平或分配影响不大，但整合计划等政府干预可能更重要。
The estimates in the study considered whether any of the governmental or family factors individually could explain the magnitude and pattern of black-white achievement gaps. Neither the level nor the distribution of school spending appears to provide much explanation for the gaps. School spending levels show little consistent impact with any indication of differential impact on blacks being small. Direct analyses of the effects of spending equalization on performance similarly show little impact. On the other hand, governmental intervention through integration programs appears potentially more important.
