Match Quality, Worker Productivity, and Worker Mobility: Direct Evidence from Teachers
研究了教师与学校之间的匹配质量对学生成绩的影响，发现匹配质量能解释教师质量四分之一的效应，且其解释力是教师质量的三分之二。
Abstract I investigate the importance of the match between teachers and schools for student achievement. I show that teacher effectiveness increases after a move to a different school and estimate teacher-school match effects. Match quality explains away a quarter of and has two-thirds the explanatory power of teacher quality. Match quality is negatively correlated with school switching, is unrelated to exit, and increases with experience. This paper provides the first estimates of worker-firm match quality using output data, as opposed to inferring productivity from wages or employment durations. The results suggest that workers seek high-quality matches for reasons other than higher pay.
