Gentrification and Failing Schools: The Unintended Consequences of School Choice under NCLB
研究了北卡罗来纳州夏洛特市Title 1学校未达标后，其学区内的房价、购房者收入及非指定学校入学概率的变化，发现高质量社区内这些指标上升，主要由新居民行为驱动。
We examine the housing market and residential mobility changes that occur soon after a Title 1 school fails to achieve adequate yearly progress (AYP) in Charlotte, North Carolina. Students within attendance zones of failing schools are given priority in lotteries for oversubscribed schools, potentially increasing the attractiveness of living in a failing school attendance zone. We find that housing prices, home buyer income, and the probability of attending a nonassigned school increase in the highest-quality neighborhoods within failing school attendance zones. Our results are driven largely by the behavior of new residents.
