Research Highlights* As co-principal investigator of a study to determine the cost of high quality out-of-school time programs, Jean Grossman's project entails collecting cost data from hundreds of programs and the development of a "blue book" or a hedonic cost index that can be used to determine the cost of programs with different types of structures and focus (i.e. academic programs, recreational programs, school-based vs. community based, with higher or lower staff-youth ratios, etc.). In 2007, Grossman oversaw the analysis of the program cost data including conducting the "blue book" analysis, and wrote three publications from this data--one on the cost of out of- school time programs, one on city-level costs of strengthening programs, and lastly, the "blue book."
