Win or Lose: Residential Sorting After a School Choice Lottery
研究了家庭因学校选择抽签结果而搬迁或退出公立学校系统的行为，发现输掉抽签的家庭更可能搬离学区或更换学校，并需支付更高的房价以获得好学校。
We examine residential relocation and opting out of the public school system in response to school choice lottery outcomes. We show that rising kindergartners and sixth graders who lose a school choice lottery are 6 percentage points more likely to exit the district or change neighborhood schools (20% to 30% increase) and make up 0.14 to 0.35 standard deviations in average school test scores between lottery assignment and attendance the following year. Using hedonic-based estimates of land prices, we estimate that lottery losers pay a 9% to 11% housing price premium for access to a school with a 1 standard deviation higher mean test score.
