Abstract: This paper summarises and interprets findings from the recent Scandinavian and international literature on the effects of school inputs in the general framework of a production function for cognitive achievement. Although the literature previously has been somewhat inconclusive, evidence using improved methodology and research designs largely supports an emerging consensus that direct school-based inputs may be adjusted to improve student achievement. Simultaneously, a growing body of research finds that parents respond to changes in school inputs, which may crowd-out the effect of additional school resources.
