Others find little evidence that large increases in spending lead to improvements in educational performance. Do additional school resources actually make any difference?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe evidence on this question offers a striking paradox. Many analysts have found that extra school resources play a negligible role in improving student achievement while children are in school. Yet many economists have gathered data showing that students who attend well-endowed schools grow up to enjoy better job market success than children whose education takes place in schools where resources are limited. For example, children who attend schools with a lower pupil-teacher ratio and a better educated teaching staff appear to earn higher wages as adults than children who attend poorer schools.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book, which grew out of a Brookings conference, brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines to discuss the evidence on the link between school resources and educational and economic outcomes. In a lively exchange of views, they debate whether additional spending can improve the performance of the nation's schools.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition to editor Gary Burtless, the contributors include Eric Hanushek, University of Rochester; James Heckman, University of Chicago; Julian Betts, University of California, San Diego; Richard Murnane, Harvard University; Larry Hedges, University of Chicago; and Christopher Jencks, Northwestern University.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDialogues on Public Policy\u003c\/p\u003e \"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eGary Burtless \u003c\/b\u003eis the John C. and Nancy D.
