Identifying the Determinants of Chronic Absenteeism: A Bioecological Systems Approach (2017, background): “Third, in addition to the family, other sociocontextual factors such as peers’ academic, demographic, and behavioral characteristics are associated with absenteeism (Gottfried, 2011, 2013; Rothman, 2001).”
“When” Students Miss School: The Role of Timing of Absenteeism on Students’ Test Performance (2017, methodology): “…(most commonly measured as the overall number of days missed per year) correlates with lower testing performance on state exams (Easton & Engelhard, 1982; Gershenson, Jacknowitz, & Brannegan, 2014; Goodman, 2014; Gottfried, 2009, 2010, 2011b; Moonie, Sterling, Figgs, & Castro, 2008; Roby, 2004).”
The short- and long-run impacts of secondary school absences (2021, background): “…student traits or time-varying observable characteristics, respectively; these studies have generally failed to address the concern that time-varying, unobservable shocks jointly influence both achievement and absences (Aucejo and Romano, 2016; Gershenson et al., 2017; Gottfried, 2009, 2011).”
Connect-Text: Leveraging Text-Message Communication to Mitigate Chronic Absenteeism and Improve Parental Engagement in the Earliest Years of Schooling (2018, background): “Going a step beyond these descriptive patterns, evidence also points to the causal link between absenteeism and educational outcomes (Gershenson, Jacknowitz, & Brannegan, 2017; Goodman, 2014; Gottfried, 2009, 2011, 2014).”
Assessing the Effect of School Days and Absences on Test Score Performance. CEP Discussion Paper No. 1302. (2014, background): “Several studies on school quality in the United States include term length as one of the regressors [see, e.g., Grogger (1996) and Eide and Showalter (1998)] but typically find insignificant effects.”
Chronic Absenteeism and Its Effects on Students’ Academic and Socioemotional Outcomes (2014, methodology): “Focusing on a single district, Gottfried (2011) exploited within-family variation and found that higher numbers of absences reduced scores on state-administered exams.”
