Abstract: School accountability is a common feature of many educational systems, with public school inspections common in European countries. Yet, there is scarce empirical evidence on the inspectorate model of school accountability. This article evaluates the effects of Swedish school inspections on pupils’ achievement using a double-robust difference-in-difference model. The results show overall negligible effects of inspection but with indications of effects heterogeneity over time. Such short- long-term outcomes should be considered in future research and educational policy when it comes to school accountability.
Keywords: School inspection; accountability; achievement
