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:

A Degree Above? a Comprehensive Analysis of the Performance and Persistence of Teachers with Graduate Degrees
TL;DR: The authors found that teachers with graduate degrees earn significantly higher evaluation ratings, with evidence suggesting the most positive results for teachers with in-area graduate degrees, particularly in STEM subjects, and graduate degree holders are less likely to return to the public school workforce, however, this result differs for teachers earning a graduate degree from a school of education versus another academic department.

Estimating Teacher Value-Added in a Cumulative Production Function
TL;DR: The authors developed and estimated a cumulative production function that explicitly accounts for the accumulation of past teacher inputs, and found that teachers play a larger role in contemporaneous outcomes than previously believed, but that their effect on student achievement is rather short-lived.

University students' self-efficacy and achievement in derivative concept
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the relationship between self-efficacy and achievement in the derivative concept in university level and found that there is a moderate and positive relationship between university students' selfefficacy levels and their achievement in derivative concept.

TL;DR: The authors disentangles the separate factors influencing achievement with special attention given to the role of teacher differences and other aspects of schools, and estimates educational production functions based on models of achievement growth with individual fixed effects.

The Economics of Schooling: Production and Efficiency in Public Schools.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors point out that public and professional interest in education is likely to be short-lived, doomed to dissipate as frustration over the inability of policy to improve school practice sets in.

Teachers, Schools, and Academic Achievement
TL;DR: In this article, the authors disentangle the impact of schools and teachers in influencing achievement with special attention given to the potential problems of omitted or mismeasured variables and of student and school selection.

Effects of Teachers’ Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching on Student Achievement:
TL;DR: It is found that teachers’ mathematical knowledge was significantly related to student achievement gains in both first and third grades after controlling for key student- and teacher-level covariates.

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.
