    Using data from TIMSS 2015, an international large-scale assessment of student skills, I investigate the effect of teacher characteristics on students' science achievement. My identification strategy exploits the feature that in many education systems different science domains (physics, biology, chemistry, and earth science) are taught by different teachers. The availability of students' test scores as well as teachers' questionnaires for each of these domains allows me to implement a withinstudent approach which controls for unobserved student heterogeneity. I find a positive and significant effect of teacher specialization in the specific science domain on students' results, equivalent to 1.7% of a standard deviation. Holding a Master's degree, pedagogical preparation and teaching experience have no significant effect. Teachers' experience has a negative impact on the extent to which students like to study a subject or find teaching engaging.

    Pietro Sancassani prepared this study while he was working at the Center for Economics of Education at the ifo Institut. The study was completed in March 2023 and accepted as a doctoral thesis by the Department of Economics at the LMU Munich. It consists of four distinct empirical essays and addresses various determinants and the consequences of student test scores. Chapter 2 investigates the impact of four teacher characteristics - whether teachers hold a Master's degree, a subject-specific qualification, a major in education, or their level of experience - on student science test scores in ten different countries. Chapter 3 shows that teacher subject-specific qualifications positively affect student science test scores in thirty countries around the world. Chapter 4 shows the association between a measure of patience derived from social media data and student test scores at the regional level. Finally, Chapter 5 shows that the salience of the education topic induced by the "PISA shock" in Germany led to an increase in the polarization of parliamentary debates about education. Pietro Sancassani erstellte diese Studie während seiner Tätigkeit am Zentrum für Ökonomie des Bildungswesens am ifo Institut. Die Studie wurde im März 2023 abgeschlossen und als Dissertation von der Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaften der LMU München angenommen. Sie besteht aus vier verschiedenen empirischen Aufsätzen und behandelt verschiedene Determinanten und die Konsequenzen von Schülerleistungen. Kapitel 2 untersucht den Einfluss von vier Lehrereigenschaften - ob die Lehrer einen Master-Abschluss haben, eine fachspezifische Qualifikation, ein Hauptfach im Bildungswesen oder ihre Erfahrung - auf das Abschneiden der Schüler in naturwissenschaftlichen Tests in zehn verschiedenen Ländern. Kapitel 3 zeigt, dass Lehrer fachspezifische Qualifikationen von Lehrern die Ergebnisse von naturwissenschaftlichen Tests in dreißig Ländern der Welt positiv auswirken. Kapitel 4 zeigt den Zusammenhang zwischen einem Maß für Geduld, die aus Daten aus sozialen Medien abgeleitet wurde, und den Testergebnissen von Schülern auf regionaler Ebene. Kapitel 5 schließlich zeigt, dass die durch den "PISA-Schock" in Deutschland hervorgerufene Aufmerksamkeit für das Thema Bildung "PISA-Schock" in Deutschland zu einer zunehmenden Polarisierung der parlamentarischen Debatten über Bildung führte.

    What makes a good teacher? This is one of the central questions in the economics of education. General teacher qualifications, such as education level or advanced degrees, tend to be poor predictors of teacher quality. Instead, some studies have shown that subject-specific qualifications predict teacher quality better. However, the vast majority of such studies are based on data from the United States. It is therefore unclear to what extent the findings can be generalized to other nations, as teacher education programs vary widely across countries. The lack of international evidence is particularly problematic for developing economies, which would arguably benefit most from improving student achievement.

    Decisions to invest in human capital depend on people's time preferences. We show that differences in patience are closely related to substantial subnational differences in educational achievement, leading to new perspectives on longstanding within-country disparities. We use social-media data - Facebook interests - to construct novel regional measures of patience within Italy and the United States. Patience is strongly positively associated with student achievement in both countries, accounting for two-thirds of the achievement variation across Italian regions and one-third across U.S. states. Results also hold for six other countries with more limited regional achievement data

    Does the salience of a topic affect polarization in related parliamentary debates? When discussing a salient topic, politicians might adopt more extreme stances to gain electoral consensus. Alternatively, they could converge towards more moderate positions to find a compromise. Using parliamentary debates from the 16 German state parliaments, I exploit the exogenous increase in the salience of education induced by the unexpectedly low performance of German students in the PISA 2000 test-the German "PISA shock". I combine machine-learning and text analysis techniques to obtain topic-specific measures of polarization of parliamentary debates. In a difference-in-differences framework, I find that the PISA shock caused an 8.8% of a standard deviation increase in polarization of education debates compared to other topics. The effect is long-lasting and fades after about six years.
