      abstract = {This thesis contains three essays related to the  measurement and origins of inequality. Thefirst two essays  consider the Chicago public schools during the early 20th  century. In the
first essay, I evaluate the impact of  school quality on child outcomes. Then I consider  the
impact of racial turnover on school funding. In the  third and last chapter, I show how to
adjust for effort  when estimating latent skills from measures of academic  performance.},
