School district revenue shocks, resource allocations, and student achievement: Evidence from the universe of U.S. wind energy installations
利用1995-2016年美国全部风能设施数据，研究发现风能安装大幅增加了学区收入，但主要用于资本支出，对经常性支出、班级规模和教师工资影响有限，且对学生考试成绩无显著影响。
We examine the impact of wind energy installation on school district finances and student achievement using data on the timing, location, and capacity of the universe of U.S. installations from 1995 through 2016. Wind energy installation substantially increased district revenues, causing large increases in capital outlays, but only modest increases in current spending, and little to no change in class sizes or teacher salaries. We find zero impact on student test scores. Using administrative data from Texas, the country’s top wind energy producer, we find zero impact of wind energy installation on high school completion and other longer-run student outcomes.
