Abstract
Increasing evidence shows that the long-term prosperity of individuals and societies alike depends crucially on their education and skills. The fascinating research by Chetty, Friedman, and Rockoff shows that high-quality teachers—those whose students show higher learning gains—have very strong effects on their students’ lifetime outcomes. If you replaced a teacher in the bottom 5% of the distribution with just an average teacher, this would raise the discounted value of the total lifetime income of the students in the classroom by roughly a quarter of a million dollars.
