This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Social and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) provides $349,640 to the University of Illinois to conduct innovative research on how a student's location and school resources affect their long-term cognitive, non-cognitive, and life outcomes.
The research leverages unique administrative data spanning over 20 years to examine the causal impacts of school quality measures, teacher/principal effectiveness, and neighborhood factors on student outcomes such as labor market engagement, post-secondary education, and criminal justice involvement. The findings will inform human capital investment policies at the local, state, and federal levels to enhance economic growth and living standards. Multiple complementary research designs are employed to rigorously estimate school effects and their variability across time and location.
