中文摘要
在高贫困学校吸引并留住高效能教师仍是一项长期挑战。我们评估了一项举措的影响，该举措向成绩最低学校的高效能教师提供了金额可观的绩效薪酬。我们发现，该项目带来了学生成绩的显著提升，使目标学校与学区平均水平之间的差距几乎完全消失。当该项目后来在部分校区被取消时，高效能教师大量离职，导致学生成绩立即下降。研究结果凸显了基于效能的补偿性工资差异在吸引并留住弱势学校高效能教师方面的潜力。（JEL H75, I21, I28, J31, J45）
Abstract
Attracting and retaining effective teachers in high-poverty schools remains a persistent challenge. We evaluate the impact of an initiative that offered substantial performance-based compensation to highly effective teachers in the lowest-achieving schools. We find that the program led to dramatic improvements in achievement, nearly closing the gap between the targeted schools and the district average. When the program was later reversed for some campuses, effective teachers departed at high rates, resulting in an immediate decline in student achievement. The results underscore the potential for effectiveness-based compensating differentials to attract and retain effective teachers in disadvantaged schools. (JEL H75, I21, I28, J31, J45)
