Educational accountability is a timely topic in Hungary, because the law of LXXI/2006 has practically introduced educational accountability. School report cards have been published for the third time in 2011 for each school with a 6th, 8th or 10th grade. These report cards publicize information about the students' mathematical and reading literacy skills, as well as statistics about the school and about the parents. This paper summarizes the most important theoretical and empirical literature about school accountability, using American and English studies. Although this paper is a pure summary with no intention to analyze the Hungarian system, it contains several conclusions that could be of the the Hungarian policy makers' interest. -- education ; accountability ; incentives

The goal of this study is to find the model that best describes the trends in labor demand using international industry level longitudinal data. Our starting point is Kézdi et al. (2006), who uses a fixed-effect model to project labor demand. We take their model and compare it with several other specifications to test forecasting fit. The main conclusions of this study are that different functional forms are better for different industries, but the linear specification fares just fine in all industries. Moreover, fixed-effect models are not better than the simple models with level effects, but results of this latter are easier to interpret. Quasi-autoregressive models do not improve forecasting fit as much as expected. -- labor-demand ; forecasting ; industry level panel
