The Effects of Charter High Schools on Educational Attainment
分析了佛罗里达州和芝加哥特许高中出勤与教育成就的关系，发现上特许高中的学生比上传统公立高中的学生更可能获得标准文凭和上大学。
We analyze the relationship between charter high school attendance and educational attainment in Florida and in Chicago. Controlling for observed student characteristics and test scores, we estimate that among students who attended a charter middle school, those who went on to attend a charter high school were 7-15 percentage points more likely to earn a standard diploma than students who transitioned to a traditional public high school. Similarly, those attending a charter high school were 8-10 percentage points more likely to attend college. We find even larger effects when we treat high school choice as endogenous.
