This dissertation includes three essays. The first two fit in the economics of education literature, focusing on the understudied topic of school closures in the United States. School closures and takeovers are a central part of a national education policy that is unlikely to disappear. Still, we know little about where, how frequent, and what determines them. The first essay is a step toward better understanding how closure and takeover decisions are made nationally. In particular, "Extreme Measures: A National Descriptive Analysis of Closure and Takeover of Traditional Public, Charter, and Private Schools" presents estimates of the trends of school closures and takeovers across all sectors during the last three decades and explores the factors that predict closures and takeovers. This essay shows that closure rates of charter and private schools are more than double the closure rate of traditional public schools and that high achievement outcomes and high enrollment are associated with fewer closures/takeovers. This essay is joint work with Douglas N. Harris.School closures began to take a more significant role in the education system with the implementation of test-based accountability policies, which encourage school improvement through increasingly severe sanctions, of which the most extreme are closures and takeovers. The second essay, "Was Implementation Left Behind? A National Analysis of State and Federal School Accountability," analyzes whether state and federal accountability policies affected the frequency of closure of publicly funded schools. This essay presents evidence that accountability-related sanctions were not implemented as intended and suggests that this might be the mechanism behind the limited effects of accountability policies to affect student performance positively.The third essay, "Do we know how much income inequality and fiscal redistribution there is?" fits in the income inequality literature. This essay studies the consequences of the misreporting of top incomes in household surveys in inequality and fiscal incidence measures for a sample of six Latin American countries. This essay presents evidence of the underestimation of inequality measures when uncorrected surveys are used and suggests that the upper tail issues in household surveys seem not to affect the redistributive impact of taxes and transfers.
