School choice and residential commute times
利用纽约市教育数据与交通信息，研究发现通勤时间越长，学生申请顶尖高中的意愿越低，通勤时间差异对申请概率影响显著。
Abstract Using New York City Department of Education administrative data matched with transit information, we are able to better quantify commute time and path considerations as they relate to school choice programs. We find longer commutes from home markedly deter students from applying to even the most elite high schools. For the top public school, a student with a 20‐minute commute is 73% more likely to apply than one who lives 40 minute away. For two schools above the 99th percentile of performance, the differences are 232% and 138%. Finally, exam scores relate to how well students understand the admissions process.
