Compensation of most US public school teachers is rigid and solely based
on seniority. This paper studies a 2011 reform that gave school
districts in Wisconsin full autonomy to redesign teacher pay schemes.
Following the reform, some districts switched to flexible
compensation and started paying high-quality teachers more. Teacher
quality increased in these districts relative to those with seniority
pay, due to a change in workforce composition and an increase in effort.
