Abstract | Beyond some contracted minimum, salaried workers' hours are largely chosen at the worker's discretion and should respond to the strength of contract incentives. Accordingly, [the authors] consider the response of teacher hours to accountability and school choice laws introduced in U.S. public schools over the past two decades. Total weekly hours of full-time teachers have risen steadily since 1983 by about an hour, and after-school instructional hours have increased 34 percent since 1987. Average hours and the rate of increase also vary widely across states. However, after accounting for a common time trend in hours, [the authors] find no association between the introduction of accountability legislation and the change in teacher hours. [They] conjecture that the weak link between effort and compensation in most school reforms helps explain the lack of such an association. (DIPF/Orig.). |
