Evidence of Student Attendance as an Independent Variable in Education Production Functions.
Lamdin, Douglas J.
Journal of Educational Research, v89 n3 p155-62 Jan-Feb 1996

Data from Baltimore County public elementary schools indicate that student attendance positively and consistently correlates to standardized achievement test performance. Student socioeconomic status is also an important factor. (SM)
