DESCRIPTION:Teachers play a formative role in shaping children’s school 
 experiences and ultimately\, their educational outcomes. In this study\, I
  use full population Danish administrative data to explore the consequence
 s of unequal access to qualified teachers in three steps. First\, I docume
 nt strong patterns of teacher-student sorting in Denmark\, one of the worl
 d’s most equal societies and generous welfare states. In short\, teacher
 s from higher socioeconomic backgrounds and with higher prior academic ach
 ievements tend to select into schools serving high-achieving children from
  privileged backgrounds. Second\, I investigate the effect of teacher qual
 ifications on students’ test score performance. To facilitate causal est
 imates\, I exploit plausibly exogenous shocks to teacher changes induced b
 y parental leave spells\, which\, I show\, are unrelated to an extensive s
 et of observed classroom characteristics\, including student well-being an
 d measures of classroom climate. Finally\, I explore differentials in the 
 impact of teacher qualifications by students’ socioeconomic background. 
 I find no consistent evidence of differential teacher effects\, implying t
 hat teacher-induced learning inequalities are mainly driven by teachers' s
 orting behavior. This finding highlights that policies designed to equaliz
 e access to quality teachers can be effective in reducing learning dispari
 ties.\n\nTeams link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameetin
