报告题目：Teacher Characteristics and Student Performance: Evidence from Random Teacher-Student Assignments in China

摘要：This article investigates the impact of teacher characteristics on student performance in middle school education using a randomly-assigned teacher-student sample in China. We show that senior and female teachers with management responsibility （i.e., homeroom teachers） effectively improve student cognitive and non-cognitive skills. We further examine the mechanisms and show that senior homeroom teachers inspire student motivation and positive behaviors, boost the classroom atmosphere, and get parents more involved. Meanwhile, female homeroom teachers benefit student skills by motivating students and interacting with parents more frequently. Our findings highlight the role of teachers in class management.
