COMPETITION IN PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICTS: CHARTER SCHOOL ENTRY, STUDENT SORTING, AND SCHOOL INPUT DETERMINATION
构建并估计了一个关于特许学校进入、学校投入选择和学生学校选择的均衡模型,模拟发现特许学校对就读学生的平均效应为正但因地而异,对公立学校学生的平均溢出效应虽小但为正。
Abstract This article develops and estimates an equilibrium model of charter school entry, school input choices, and student school choices. The structural model renders a comprehensive and internally consistent picture of treatment effects when there may be general equilibrium effects of school competition. Simulations indicate that the mean effect of charter schools on attendant students is positive and varies widely across locations. The mean spillover effect on public school students is small but positive. Lifting caps on charter schools would more than double entry but reduce gains for attendant students.
