abstract = {I estimate the effect of class size on scholastic achievement using that schools are only in
session during the school year and out of session during the summer. This seasonal feature of
the schooling system makes it possible to control for unobservable pupil characteristics affecting
both the level and change in achievement. Using Swedish data, I find that smaller classes
generate higher achievement. A comparison with the results from applying the same data to the
widely used value-added model is also made.},
