He makes use of geospatial analysis (i.e., using ArcGIS software to measure resource allocation, concentration, and geographical differences in resource availability), econometrics (i.e., instrumental variable methods, regression discontinuity designs, differences-in-differences estimators, fixed-effects models, and others), and structural equation models (i.e., path analysis of observed data, latent variable modeling, etc…) to conduct quasi-experimental data analysis with a national data set from the US Department of Education.
