The Black-White Test Score Gap Through Third Grade

Roland G. Fryer · 13 Jul 2006

This article describes basic facts regarding the Black-White test score gap over the first four years of school. Black children enter school substantially behind their White counterparts in reading and math, but including a small number of covariates erases the gap.

Do Harsher Prison Conditions Reduce Recidivism? A Discontinuity-based Approach

M. Keith Chen, Jesse M. Shapiro · 23 Apr 2007

We estimate the causal effect of prison conditions on recidivism rates by exploiting a discontinuity in the assignment of federal prisoners to security levels. Inmates housed in higher security levels are no less likely to recidivate than those housed in minimum security; if anything, our estimates suggest that harsher prison conditions lead to more post-release…

We argue that the quality of life in prison is likely to have a greater impact on criminal behavior than the death penalty. Using state-level panel data covering the period 1950--90, we demonstrate that the death rate among prisoners (the best available proxy…

School Quality, Neighborhoods, and Housing Prices

Thomas J. Kane · 13 Jul 2006

We study the relationship between school characteristics and housing prices in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, between 1994 and 2001. During this period, the school district was operating under a court-imposed desegregation order and drew school boundaries so that students living in the same neighborhoods were often sent to very different schools in terms of racial…
