Apartheid's Enduring Legacy: Inequalities in Education (2007, background): “These may in any event provide the highest marginal return to further investment, as Filmer and Pritchett (1999) argued.”
Schooling Resources, Educational Institutions and Student Performance: the International Evidence (2003, neutral): “Therefore, "there is an enormous gap between children sitting in a classroom and an increase in human capital" (Pritchett and Filmer 1999, p. 223), reflected in the quality of education.”
Human Capital Measurement: A Survey (2010, background): “Pritchett and Filmer (1999) showed that there is no positive relation between the growth of HC and productivity growth.”
Publicly Provided Education (2002, background): “Pritchett and Filmer (1999) consider how the interests of school personnel align with the decisions that are made and conclude that such self-interest appears important.”
Missing in action: teacher and health worker absence in developing countries. (2006, background): “The vast bulk of education budgets, and a large share of health budgets, go to pay salaries, and expenditure on non-salary inputs is widely seen as inefficiently low (Pritchett and Filmer 1999).”
Measuring efficiency in education: an analysis of different approaches for incorporating non-discretionary inputs (2008, background): “The publication of this report led to a wide-ranging debate between those who hold that these factors have no influence on educational results (Hanushek, 1986) and those who believe that spending more on education produces better results (Pritchett and Filmer, 1999).”
The Misallocation of Pay and Productivity in the Public Sector: Evidence from the Labor Market for Teachers (2017, positive): “Our results also add to a literature that highlights the misallocation in public resources between teachers’ wages and other inputs in low-income countries (Pritchett and Filmer, 1999).”
An Empirical Survey of Frontier Efficiency Measurement Techniques in Education (2001, background): “2 traditional educational inputs have the expected positive influence on educational outcomes (Pritchett and Filmer, 1999, p. 223).”
Estimating an educational production function for five countries of Latin America on the basis of the PISA data (2013, background): “But here again some argue (see, for example, Pritchett and Filmer, 1999) that there is no strong evidence of an important impact of these inputs on educational outcomes.”
Measuring educational efficiency at student level with parametric stochastic distance functions: an application to Spanish PISA results (2011, background): “Since the early 1960s (Carroll 1963), a wide range of studies (for example, Coleman 1966; Jenks 1972; Summers and Wolfe 1977; Hanushek 1986, 1996, 1997, 2003; Pritchett and Filmer 1999) have sought to define the relationship between school inputs, student background and achievement at school.”
Measuring and explaining government efficiency in developing countries (2007, background): “Pritchett and Filmer (1997) report systematic misallocation of education spending, for the most part due to the strong influence teachers have on resource allocations.”
