Real Effects of Financial Distress of Workers: Evidence from Teacher Spillovers
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of financial distress on the productivity of workers were studied using detailed data from the public school system in Texas, which allows us to exploit within-teacher variation and to control for a student's economic environment.
