| Abstract: | This article is the first to systematically document the relationship between individual teacher performance incentives and student achievement using the United States data. The data is combined from the National education longitudinal survey on schools, student and their families with authors own survey. The results show that test scores are higher in schools that offer individual financial incentives for good performance. Finally, the association between teacher incentives and student performance could be due to better schools adopting teacher incentives or to teacher incentives eliciting more effort from teachers and it is impossible to rule out the former explanation with this cross sectional data. |
