Do School Report Cards Produce Accountability Through the Ballot Box?
研究利用俄亥俄州数据，考察学校成绩单等问责信息是否通过选举渠道促使教育质量提升，发现成绩不佳对学校董事会更替、得票率及学监任期影响甚微。
Abstract Public education has been transformed by the widespread adoption of accountability systems that involve the dissemination of school district performance information. Using data from Ohio, we examine if elections serve as one channel through which these accountability systems might lead to improvements in educational quality. We find little evidence that poor performance on widely disseminated state and federal indicators has an impact on school board turnover, the vote share of sitting school board members, or superintendent tenure, suggesting that the dissemination of district performance information puts little (if any) electoral pressure on elected officials to improve student achievement.
