DESCRIPTION:Anthony Yim is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department
  of Economics at Brigham Young University. His research focuses on labor e
 conomics\, applied econometrics\, and the economics of education\, with em
 phasis on estimating post-secondary instructor value-added and the effects
  of educational policies on student outcomes. He is the author of the fort
 hcoming article “How Early Morning Classes Change Academic Trajectories
 ” in the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management and has additional re
 search examining college course access\, grade inflation\, and the impacts
  of teacher characteristics on student outcomes. \n\n \n\nThis seminar wil
 l discuss theoretical and empirical research on post-secondary instructor 
 impacts\, focusing on three main topics: i) developing a generalizable met
 hod for estimating instructor value-added that accounts for student select
 ion using prior course histories\; ii) applying this method to measure ins
 tructor effects on both next-semester GPA and post-college earnings across
  a large sample of universities\, including Purdue University and nearly a
 ll public universities in Texas\; iii) evaluating the relationship between
  value-added estimates and traditional student evaluations\, and exploring
  the potential gains from using value-added measures in instructor retenti
 on and personnel decisions
