Table 14.2. How children’s outcomes at 16 are affected by second-
ary school characteristics (ALSPAC) (β- coefficients)
Source: Online Full Table 14.2.
Notes: Robust standard errors in parentheses. Controls for child’s Spe-
cial Educational Needs (SEN) statement, free school meal eligibil-
ity, whether English is not the first language, and lagged dependent
variables (at 11). For additional controls see notes for Table 14.1.
Bold: p < .10 (2- tailed).


Table 14.3. How children’s outcomes at 8 and 11 are affected by
primary school attended (ALSPAC) (β- coefficients)
Source: Online Full Table 14.3.
Notes: Robust standard errors in parentheses. Lagged dependent vari-
ables for the age 11 (8) are measured at age 8 (7). For additional
controls, see notes for Table 14.1. Bold: p < .10 (2- tailed).


Table 14.4. How children’s outcomes at 8 and 11 are affected by mea-
sured primary school characteristics (ALSPAC) (β- coefficients)
Source: Online Full Table 14.4.
Notes: Robust standard errors in parentheses. Controls for family back-
ground, child’s Special Educational Needs (SEN) statement, free
school meal eligibility, whether English is not the first language,
lagged dependent variables, and primary school teacher dummies.
Lagged dependent variables for the age 11 (8) are measured at age
8 (5). For a complete list of controls see notes for Table 14.1. Bold:
p < .10 (2- tailed).


Table 14.5. How children’s outcomes at 8 and 11 are affected by
their teacher (ALSPAC) (β- coefficients)
Source: Flèche (2017).
Notes: Teacher value- added are estimated in regressions that include
controls for school characteristics, pupil characteristics, family back-
ground, school- cohort effects, grade dummies, and lagged pupil de-
pendent variables. All three outcomes are measured at ages 8 and 11.

misery among adults (BHPS) (cross- section) (β- coefficients)

Note: Based on BHPS, with the following exceptions: Crime from BCS
(see notes for Figure 1.1); for depression/anxiety we use the average
of the US and the Australian figures in Tables 6.2 and 6.3. Controls
for comparison income, education, unemployment, partnership,
