The Effect of Large-Scale Performance-Based Funding in Higher Education
Ward, Jason; Ost, Ben
Education Finance and Policy, v16 n1 p92-124 Win 2021
The use of performance-based funding that ties state higher education appropriations to performance metrics has increased dramatically in recent years, but most programs place at stake a small percent of overall funding. We analyze the effect of two notable exceptions--Ohio and Tennessee--where nearly all state funding is tied to performance measures. Using a difference-in-differences identification strategy along with a synthetic control approach, we find no evidence that these programs improve key academic outcomes.
