In the recent study, student achievement gains in Brazil among municipalities (2007–2017) is analyzed  with the goal of understanding the variation in these gains and the socioeconomic, race, and school resource correlates of that variation.

He has written forty books and more than 150 articles on the economic value of education, on the political economy of educational policy, on educational production, and on higher education. Much of his work is comparative and international and investigates the way educational systems are organized.

In Brazil, he has been supporting the Programa de Especialização Docente PED Brasil - a network of Brazilian Universities for  Teacher Education - since its inception.
