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:

Does it pay to pay teachers more? Evidence from Texas
TL;DR: The authors showed that paying teachers more improves student achievement through higher retention rates, and they also suggest that adopting a flat salary schedule may be a cheap way to improve student performance, while finding no evidence that pay effects vary by the teacher's gender or subject taught.

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.
