Education
Finance
AIR's research and policy studies in education finance focus on cost analysis, analyses of resource allocation, and cost-effectiveness and benefit-cost studies.
Our work includes public and private K-12 education, preschool and early childhood education, and early intervention services for children and their families. We apply state-of-the-art methods to analysis of school finance policy and large-scale studies of resource allocation in education at the federal, state and local levels, provide expert testimony in school finance litigation cases; and conduct studies of teacher labor markets.
