1981年，智利在全国范围内实行择校制，向任何希望上私立学校的学生提供代金券。结果，1000多所私立学校进入市场，私立入学率提高了20个百分点，在更大、更城市和更富裕的社区影响更大。我们使用这种差异影响来衡量无限制的选择对教育成果的影响。使用约150个城市的面板数据，我们发现没有证据表明选择改善了平均教育成果，如考试成绩，留级率和受教育年限。然而，我们发现证据表明，教育券计划导致增加排序，作为“最好的”公立学校的学生离开私营部门。(c)2005 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
In 1981, Chile introduced nationwide school choice by providing vouchers to any student wishing to attend private school. As a result, more than 1000 private schools entered the market, and the private enrollment rate increased by 20 percentage points, with greater impacts in larger, more urban, and wealthier communities. We use this differential impact to measure the effects of unrestricted choice on educational outcomes. Using panel data for about 150 municipalities, we find no evidence that choice improved average educational outcomes as measured by test scores, repetition rates, and years of schooling. However, we find evidence that the voucher program led to increased sorting, as the "best" public school students left for the private sector. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
