The Effects of Charter Schools on Economic Mobility
Sarah Cohodes
Associate Professor of Public Policy, University of Michigan
A number of studies have found that charter school models can produce improvements in math and reading test scores and increase college entry, but do not answer the question of whether charter schools improve long-term outcomes. Sarah Cohodes and colleagues sought to answer this question by linking admissions lottery information to college data and employment information. Join us to engage in discussion about the first experimental evidence on whether charter schools affect earnings in adulthood.
Event registration is encouraged, but not required.
Join us in person in Longfellow Hall.
- Seating is first-come, first-seated. We recommend you arrive a few minutes early for seating, to engage with the community, and to enjoy light refreshments before the seminar begins.
This event is accessible, free, and open to the public.
The event will also be livestreamed on the main PIER Public Seminar page. Registrants will receive an email the day of the seminar with the livestream link.
