Estimating Educational Production Functions with Correction for Drops

Abstract

Problems or sample selection in explaining student performance in economics classes are identified, and Heckman's two-step method is used to correct the implied bias in both Cobb-Douglas and translog-type learning functions. The effects of gender and other explanatory variables are then examined.
