In this study, Jane Arnold Lincove, Deven Carlson, and Nathan Barrett examine the impact of school closures on the future employment of affected teachers. They track teacher employment at publicly-funded schools in New Orleans from spring 2007 to spring 2015, a period when many low-performing schools were shut down or saw complete management changes, to see how those closures affected the probability that a teacher would leave the profession or see a decrease in salary in subsequent years.
