“…For example,Angrist and Lavy (1999),Krueger (1999) andMcKee et al (2010) showed positive effects on the outcomes from lower student-to-teacher ratios, and Lin (2009),Li and Tobias (2003),Strauss and Sawyer (1986),Ferguson (1991) andEhrenberg and Brewer (1994) found similar outcomes from increases in teachers' aptitude scores. 2 Several studies investigate the cost-effectiveness in education (see e.g Levin, 1970;Summers and Wolfe, 1977;Levin, 1988;Yeh, 2010)…”

Extensive literature has shown that student attainment outcomes are affected by student-to-teacher ratios and overall teacher aptitude levels, but offers little information about which method offers the greatest student attainment return relative to associated costs. This study provides empirical evidence that staffing policies should consider the costeffectiveness of teacher-hiring decisions when multiple education policies are effective.

“…The primary data for this study are from the restricted-access versions of the 1999-2000, 2003-2004and the 2007-2008. Teacher quality is measured as a teacher's scholastic aptitude in percentiles and is constructed using restricted-access versions of the National Post-Secondary Aid Survey (NPSAS).…”

Pupil-teacher ratio (PTR) is one of the key measurements of quality education. This article presents the pupil-teacher ratio for 133 public primary schools in a local government area (LGA) of Ogun State, Nigeria. The data were obtained from a complete enumeration of the records of each school. It was discovered that the average PTR obtained from the data analysis is higher than the national average. Using PTR equals 35 as a benchmark of Nigeria, only 25 (19%) schools out of the 133 schools considered have an acceptable PTR (below 35), 52 (39%) schools have a moderate PTR (between 35 and 50) and 56 (42%) schools have unacceptable and high PTR (above 50). This article shows that there is high pupil-teacher ratio in the country’s public primary schools. This research will be helpful in the following; educational evaluation and assessment, audit and quality assurance, decision makers in the Ministry of Education in gap analysis for recruitment purposes, assessing the level of implementation of policies on education and monitoring of the progress made in attaining development sustainable goals (SDG) as it relates to access to quality education.

On the basis of the theory of Chiappori and Salanie (2000), this paper proposes a simple modified bivariate Probit model incorporating non-parametric kernel density estimation. The model is applied to test asymmetric information in a health insurance market, using MEPS96 data.1 Results show that asymmetric information (whether moral hazard or adverse selection) exists between the contract of insurance coverage, and some non-emergency visits services, which appear to support the conclusions of Cardon and Hendel (2001). It is also shown how this non-parametric approach plays an important role in the delicate task of correctly testing, by computing generalized residuals, the existence of asymmetric information.
