Project Description

View help for Summary
This paper presents evidence about the effect of individual monetary incentives
on English and math teachers in Israel. Teachers were rewarded with cash
bonuses for improving their students' performance in high-school matriculation
exams. The main identification strategy is based on measurement error
in the assignment to treatment variable that produced a randomized treatment
sample. The incentives led to significant improvements in test taking rates, conditional
pass rates, and mean test scores. Improvements were mediated through
changes in teaching methods, enhanced after-school teaching, and increased
responsiveness to students' needs. No evidence was found of manipulation of
test scores by teachers. (JEL I21, J31, J45)
