The Relationship Of Training Methods Between Ncaa Division I Cross-Country Runners With 10,000 Meter Performance, Maximilian J. Kurz

Student Work

The scientific relationship between 10,000 meter performance and training methods of distance runners remains incompletely understood. Researchers such as Slovic (1977) and Pollock (1978) have attempted to study the relationship between training practices of distance runners with the use of surveys. However, these studies did not analyze the significance of various types of training regimens available. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the training methods of NCAA Division I runners and 10,000 meter performance. Fourteen Division I qualifying teams of the NCAA Division I national cross-country meet and 16 randomly chosen non-qualifying teams were recruited through the mail …

Dynamic Productivity, Efficiency, And Technical Innovation In Education: A Mathematical Programming Approach Using Data Envelopment Analysis, Kalyan Chakraborty, Sandeep Mohapatra

Economic Research Institute Study Papers

Despite the long-standing debate surrounding the performance of the U.S. public education system, there is an absence of comprehensive empirical evidence on this issue across different states. Initial dialogues on educational performance prescribed overall increases in expenditures for securing productivity gains. However, more recent themes emphasize the importance of productive efficiency as a key factor in securing performance increases.

This paper measures technical efficiency and total factor productivity in educational production units that utilize a multi output production technology. The technical efficiency scores are explicitly conditioned on socioeconomic and environmental influences. Particular attention is paid to the specification of varying …

Status Attainment Among Children Of Single Mothers: The Roles Of Parenting And Economics, Sarah Barfels

Honors Papers

My analysis adds to the literature on single motherhood by trying to refine a structural equations model to use to examine the causal importance and relationships between economics and parenting in single mother families and the effect on intergenerational attainment. This work also utilizes the relatively new longitudinal data from the second wave of the National Survey of Families and Households which includes more comprehensive (measuring participation in school activities and adding indexes to previously single indicator concepts) measures of parenting practices (Thomson, Hanson, and McLahanan 1994; Astone and McLanahan 1991). Further, the role of these and economic factors are …
