Mobility, Targeting, and Private-School Vouchers
通过一般均衡模拟，研究居民流动性如何影响不同私立学校代金券政策的效果，发现针对学区的代金券与无目标代金券效果相似，但针对低收入家庭的代金券效果迥异，且迁移效应能显著改善代金券项目的公平性。
This paper uses general-equilibrium simulations to explore the role of residential mobility in shaping the impact of different private-school voucher policies. The simulations are derived from a three-district model of low-, middle-, and high-income school districts (calibrated to New York data) with housing stocks that vary within and across districts. In this model, it is demonstrated that school-district targeted vouchers are similar in their impact to nontargeted vouchers but vastly different from vouchers targeted to low-income households. Furthermore, strong migration effects are shown to significantly improve the likely equity consequences of voucher programs.
