Would weighted-student funding enhance intra-district equity in Texas? A simulation using DEA
使用数据包络分析模拟德克萨斯州学区转向加权学生资助后的资源配置变化，发现若学区高效配置资源，则不会按资助模型权重分配，且提高效率的政策能增强教育结果公平。
We use data envelopment analysis to model the educational production function, and then explore how a shift to weighted student funding using the student weights embedded in the Texas School Finance Formula would alter the allocation of inputs and potential outputs. School outputs are measured as value-added reading and math scores on standard achievement tests. We find that if school districts allocated their resources efficiently, then they would not allocate their resources to campuses according to the funding model weights. Policies that promote greater efficiency would also enhance equity in educational outcomes.
