School Accountability, Long-Run Criminal Activity, and Self-Sufficiency* Ozkan Eren, David Figlio, Naci Mocan and Orgul Ozturk This paper examines the impact of school accountability on adult crime and economic self-sufficiency. We employ a unique source of linked administrative data from a Southern state and exploit exogenous variation generated by the state‘s accountability regime. Our findings indicate that a school‘s receipt of a lower accountability rating, at the bottom end of the ratings distribution, decreases their students‘ criminal involvement and the likelihood of being incarcerated in adulthood. However, we do not find any meaningful relationship between a lower accountability rating and enrollment in social welfare programs. Further examination of the mechanisms reveals that accountability pressures prompted schools to implement policies that led to changes in school climate.

I am delighted to see our paper as an NBER working paper.

A 10% increase in access to free school meals reduces the amount of food that food banks distribute by 0.9%–1.4%, without significantly reducing donations, fundraising activity, or the amount of food available, from @kristaruffini.bsky.social, Ozturk, and Pekgun https://www.nber.org/papers/w33562

In this @postandcourier.bsky.social piece, South Carolina @scholars.org chapter member, @orgulozturk.bsky.social, cites her data to defend an important teacher pay program that just had its funding stripped. www.postandcourier.com/education-la...
Accused of promoting DEI, Laurens $13.5M teacher pay program stripped of funding
As part of a larger 'DEI' purge, the Trump administration has terminated a $13.5M program in Laurens County that would boost teacher pay for higher test scores.
