The two approaches to valuing common stocks using fundamental security analysis are: Discounted Cash flow techniques. Attempts to estimate the value of a stock today using a present value analysis. Relative valuation techniques. A stock is valued relative to other stocks based on the basis of ratios.

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 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.

Linking Behavioral Economics, Axiomatic Decision Theory and General Equilibrium Theory This chapter has used the Tiebout choice process—the choice of school characteristics via housing decisions—as a lens through which to study the strength of parental preferences for effective schools relative to those for other neighborhood or school characteristics.

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.

THE IMPACT OF PRIVATIZATION AND ECONOMIC RESTRUCTURING ON EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS: THE TUNISIAN This may make it easier for a high- x jm school to attract good teachers in a highchoice market than in one with less choice, where teachers are likely to be assigned to schools by bureaucratic rules rather than by the market. Any such effect would imply a positive effect of choice on the reduced-form peer effect—γ in equations (1) and (4)— which will appear as a positive contribution to 1 ϕ .52

Essays in Macroeconomics and the Economics of Higher Education In single-MSA regressions of test scores on student characteristics, the above arguments imply greater attenuation of the peer group coefficient in MSAs with less stratified schools. As choice is positively correlated with stratification, this produces a tendency toward larger estimated coefficients (i.e. less bias toward zero) in high-choice MSAs.
