We find substantial correlations between test scores and long-run TVA but zero correlations between these two TVA measures and behavior TVA. We find that short-term test-score TVA and long-run TVA are highly correlated and equally good predictors of long-term outcomes. %K teacher quality %K quasi-experimental random assignment %K university quality %K choice of university study %K panel information on teachers %K teacher value added
