This thesis aims to develop a new comparative approach to the study of public sector innovation by examining legislative and regulatory frameworks in a public sector context. The novelty of this approach is exemplified in providing a systematic and detailed account of regulation in the public sector. However, given the sheer breadth of public sector services, a specific area of focus is needed. This thesis will concentrate on public school education as an example of a public sector service to build a series of case studies.

The study derives from a context of rapid evolution in the field of inclusive education to adapt to socio-economic status quo. Since the studies of Piaget (1936), Vygotsky (1978), Gardner (1989) and Dunn (1989), educators have acknowledged the uniqueness of learner’s need and diverse learning styles.

The production of banks is an act of transforming inputs into outputs. The objective of production is to create value through transformation and the outputs are given in general desirable outcomes. Hence more output is better. At the same time, inputs are valuable resources, with alternative uses. Unspent quality of any input can be used for producing more of the same outputs or produce different outputs.

The Market for Higher Education: Economic Analyses of College Choice , Returns , and State Aid Policy A thesis Present I find suggestive evidence, however, that her estimates, from a sample of public school students, are upward biased by selection into private schools. Moreover, an investigation of the sampling variability of Hoxby’s estimates leads to the conclusion that her standard errors are understated, and that even her own point estimates of the competitive effect are not significantly different from zero....

TREE ESSAYS ON ECONOMICS OF EDUCATION IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES This could be because effectiveness is swamped by the peer group in parental preferences or because it is difficult to observe directly. In either case, administrators who pursue unproductive policies are unlikely to be disciplined by parental exit and Tiebout choice can create only weak incentives for productive school management.

THE ROLE OF IMPORT SUBSITITUTION AND EXPORT ORIENTATION STRATEGIES ON THAILAND'ECONOMIC GROWTH This result calls the incentive effects of Tiebout choice into question, as it indicates that administrators of effective schools are no more likely to be rewarded with high demand for local housing in high-choice than in low-choice markets. To explore this further, I estimate models for the effect of Tiebout choice on mean scores across metropolitan areas. Consistent with the earlier results, I find no evidence that high-choice markets produce higher average SAT scores.

TWO ESSAYS IN INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS: AN EMPIRICAL APPROACH TO PURCHASING POWER PARITY AND THE MONETARY MODEL OF EXCHANGE RATE DETERMINATION I adopt a different strategy: I compare housing markets that differ in the strength of the residential location-school assignment link, and I develop simple reduced-form implications of parental valuations for the across-school distribution of student characteristics and educational outcomes as a function of the strength of this link.

Three essays consider implications of the strong association between student background characteristics and academic performance. Chapter One considers the incentives that school choice policies might create for the efficient management of schools. These incentives would be diluted if parents prefer schools with desirable peer groups to those with inferior peers but better policies and instruction. I model a “Tiebout choice” housing market in which schools differ in both peer group and effectiveness.

EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC GROWTH; A CAUSAL ANALYSIS It similarly seems unlikely that parents have zero concern for peer group. In the presence of direct or indirect peer effects on student learning, parents would be irrational to ignore peer group in their evaluations of schools, and anecdotal evidence suggests that they do not do so.

THE EFFECTS OF EDUCATION ON ECONOMIC GROWTH: THE CASE OF BOTSWANA AND SOUTH AFRICA (1970-1994) I see four possible explanations for the pattern of results. First, it may be that I have mis-measured the extent of Tiebout choice by focusing on a district-level choice index where in fact the relevant measure of parents’ exit options is at the school level. Second, parents may have no concern whatever for the peer group, and may choose schools purely for their effectiveness.

Essays in the Economics of Education A thesis presented The motivation for the empirical approach is a model of the Tiebout marketplace in which housing prices ration access to desirable schools. As is common in multicommunity models, equilibrium is characterized by maximum stratification of families across school districts, with the wealthiest families residing in the most-preferred communities.

THE ROLE OF EDUCATION IN ECONOMIC TRANSITION AND POLITICAL TRANSFORMATION IN POST-COMMUNIST COUNTRIES The answer appears to be no. Note that the within-MSA gradient of school average SAT scores with respect to student characteristics is 1.74 (from Column A of the same table). Even at the upper limit of the confidence interval, a move from unified governance to complete decentralization accounts for just over ten percent of this gradient.
