Abstract
While researchers have explored a wide variety of measures designed to improve student performance, the obvious issue of absenteeism has gone largely ignored. This is even more puzzling when we consider that most policy measures implicitly rely on the students’ physical presence in the classroom in order to work. We view this project as a first step toward understanding the role of absenteeism in shaping student outcomes.
