Academic Performance and Single-Sex Schooling: Evidence from a Natural Experiment in Switzerland (2015, background): “Other studies investigate how educational outcomes are affected by peer groups defined by race (Link and Mulligan, 1991), parents' education level (McEwan, 2003), social proximity (Foster, 2006), and ability or achievement (Arnott and Rowse, 1987; Lefgren, 2004; Eisenkopf, 2010).”
Chronic Absenteeism and Its Effects on Students’ Academic and Socioemotional Outcomes (2014, methodology): “The effect size utilized throughout this study is the standardized beta—a common metric utilized in nonexperimental studies using large-scale datasets (e.g., Datar, 2006; Gottfried, 2011; McEwan, 2003).”
Peer influences on adolescent alcohol consumption: evidence using an instrumental variables/fixed effect approach (2011, unknown): “2003; Hoxby 2000; Lavy and Schlosser 2007), middle school achievement (McEwan 2003; Summers and Wolfe 1977; Lavy and Schlosser 2007), enrollment in college (Fletcher 2010b), and achievement during college (Sacerdote 2001; Zimmerman 2003; Fletcher and Tienda 2009).”
Evaluating the Relationship Between Student Attendance and Achievement in Urban Elementary and Middle Schools (2010, background): “7Students and families within the same school often share similar unobserved characteristics, and thus the literature suggests that school fixed effects can empirically represent family fixed effects as well (e.g., McEwan, 2003).”
Close Neighbours Matter: Neighbourhood Effects on Early Performance at School (2006, unknown): “Some papers report significant effects (Ding and Lehrer, forthcoming; Hoxby, 2000; McEwan, 2003) whereas others find no impact at all (Angrist and Lang, 2004).”

International Evidence on Ability Grouping with Curriculum Differentiation and the Achievement Gap in Secondary Schools (2010, result): “…research clearly supports the conclusion that school and classroom SES composition are related to achievement gains (Ammermüller, 2005; Bosker & Scheerens, 2004; Brandsma & Knuver, 1989; McEwan, 2003; McPherson & Willms, 1987; Teddlie et al., 2000; Thrupp, 1995; Willms, 1986; Woessman, 2007).”
How Effective Are Private Schools in Latin America? (2001, unknown): “1 Demand and Supply The market share of private schools may increase for several reasons. The first is the existence of excess demand for public education that cannot be met. This is particularly germane to Latin American secondary education, where some public sectors cannot absorb every student. Al”
The Effect of Peer Socioeconomic Status on Student Achievement: A Meta-Analysis (2010, unknown): “Instead, their approach was to add a well-chosen set of covariates, including fixed effects for region / community type (Rivkin, 2001), school type (Schneeweis & Winter Ebmer, 2005) or family (McEwan, 2003).”
