How Instructors Make a Difference: Panel Data Estimates from Principles of Economics Courses

Michael Watts; William Bosshardt

Abstract

Differences in student learning associated with different instructors in three types of principles of economics courses are estimated using a fixed- and random-effects specification for an educational production function. Results show a wide variance in these instructor effects and that this variance increases directly with the amount of latitude instructors are given in the classroom.
