“…This finding is best explained by a Roy-style model in which more able individuals prefer teaching over other professions during recessions due to less opportunities in alternative occupations. In comparison to Britton and Propper (2016), we show that the selection into teaching is affected by outside options. We can additionally control for potential confounding channels by using individual-level data and a direct measure of teacher quality.…”

“…The study found out that reward moderates the effect of self-efficacy on performance. Similarly, [21] investigated the relationship between teacher pay and school productivity in England. The paper reported that teacher wages are set in flat wages across heterogeneous labour markets, which created a gap between the outside labour market and the wage for teachers.…”

Aim: To determine strategies for enhancing self-efficacy among secondary school teachers. Sample: The study population was 1790 teachers in 143 public secondary schools from which a sample of 12 teachers was drawn using strategic sampling. Study Design: A mixed method approach and a concurrent triangulation design were adopted. Place and Duration of Study: Teachers in public secondary schools in Kisumu County, Kenya, between June 2016 and September 2016. Methodology: Interview schedule was used to collect qualitative data. Interview schedule was piloted with teachers who did not participate in the study to establish validity and reliability. Qualitative data was transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically. Conclusion: The qualitative findings revealed that better remuneration, improvement in working conditions, capacity-building programs and facilitative style of leadership were effective strategies in enhancing teachers' self-efficacy.

“…Most recently, Britton and Propper (2016) exploit centralized wage regulation that generates regional variation in teachers' relative wages in England to document positive effects of relative teacher pay on school productivity. 4 However, their school-level data do not allow them to disentangle selection into the teaching profession from the sorting of teachers into specific schools and potential differences in teacher effort due to efficiency wage effects.…”

How do alternative job opportunities affect teacher quality? We provide causal evidence on this question by exploiting business cycle conditions at career start as a source of exogenous variation in the outside options of potential teachers. Unlike prior research, we directly assess teacher quality with value-added measures of impacts on student test scores, using administrative data on 33,000 teachers in Florida public schools. Consistent with a Roy model of occupational choice, teachers entering the profession during recessions are significantly more effective in raising student test scores. Results are supported by placebo tests and not driven by differential attrition.
