The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Econometric Studies of Higher Education. (2004, background): “A different strand of literature, exemplified by Becker and Powers (2001) addresses the important question of how students’ class sizes influence their persistence in classes and the amount that they learn.”
Does Mandatory Attendance Improve Student Performance? (2006, background): “Becker and Powers (2001) noted that sample selection bias could influence the empirical results.”
Student Effort and Performance over the Semester (2005, background): “The number of students who did not provide complete data raises the possibility of selection bias when estimating the model of student effort and performance (see Montmarquette and Houle 1986; Douglas and Sulock 1995; Becker and Powers 2001).”
Do Higher Grades Lead to Favorable Student Evaluations? (2005, background): “Becker and Powers (2001) have also argued that the class size at the beginning of the semester has a more significant impact, especially in large sections.”
Determinants of How Students Evaluate Teachers (2006, background): “Becker and Powers (2001) discussed the sample selection problem inherent in studies such as mine: Students who do not expect to be performing well in class and those who do not like their instructors are more likely to withdraw from a class than are other students.”
