dc.description.abstract | I estimate the effect of class size on scholastic achievement using that schools are only insession during the school year and out of session during the summer. This seasonal feature ofthe schooling system makes it possible to control for unobservable pupil characteristics affectingboth the level and change in achievement. Using Swedish data, I find that smaller classesgenerate higher achievement. A comparison with the results from applying the same data to thewidely used value-added model is also made. | en |
