Abstract

This paper uses teachers’ contract choices and a randomized controlled trial of performance pay with 7,000 teachers in 243 private schools in Pakistan to study whether performance pay affects the composition of teachers with the aim of identifying, attracting and retaining high-quality teachers.

This research is part of the Research on Improving Systems of Education programme.
