TLDR
In this article, the effects of various types of education and training on the productivity of teachers in promoting student achievement were studied. But they did not find a consistent relationship between formal professional development training and teacher productivity, and they found no evidence that teachers' pre-service training or college entrance exam scores are related to productivity.About:

Lucy C. Sorensen,Stephen B. Holt +1 more
TL;DR: This paper found that the entry of charters serving predominantly white students leads to reductions in average teacher experience, effectiveness, and credentials at traditional public schools in North Carolina, and that the spillover effects of future charter expansion will vary by the types of students served by charters.

The Impact of School District Financial Allocation on District Effectiveness: A Look at School Districts in Missouri
Abstract: The purpose of this quantitative study was to increase the knowledge base on the relationship between categorical educational spending and how resource allocation impacts district effectiveness. The independent variables are overall expenditures per ADA, average teacher salary, expenditures on instructional salary per pupil, expenditures on instructional support salary per pupil, and expenditures on professional development per pupil. The dependent variable for the study was district effectiveness as measured by MSIP V scores, the method by which school districts in Missouri are accredited. Data was used from all K-12 school districts in Missouri for the 2012-2013 school year. The variable that had the most significant positive impact on district effectiveness was expenditures on instructional salary per pupil. This variable can be compared to a student to teacher ratio. There was a significant positive relationship between districts with higher expenditures on instructional salary per pupil and district effectiveness. Average teacher salary and expenditures on instructional support salary had no significant impact on district effectiveness. Overall expenditures per ADA and professional development expenditures per pupil had a significant negative impact on district effectiveness. These negative relationships could be explained by how districts are funded and also the absence of time consideration for this study.

Robust Inference with Multi-way Clustering
TL;DR: The authors proposed a variance estimator for the OLS estimator as well as for nonlinear estimators such as logit, probit, and GMM that enables cluster-robust inference when there is two-way or multiway clustering that is nonnested.
