对私立学校和公立学校学生的相对表现进行研究的生产研究通常发现,私立学校学生的平均成绩超过公立学校学生的平均成绩。私立学校的学生人数相对较少,这严重限制了对美国教育券和其他政策改革效果的政策预测。各国提供和资助学校教育的体制安排差别很大。本文探讨了五个国家的这些安排。使用一组衡量数学成绩的数据,实证结果表明,公共资金及其随后在私营部门扩大招生的影响并没有消除私立学校相对于公立学校的上级表现。政府对私立学校决策权的限制会否定私立学校的上级表现。
Production studies that have examined the relative performance of students in private and public schools typically find that the average student achievement in private schools exceeds that of the average student in public schools. The relatively small enrollment of students in private schools seriously limits policy predictions concerning the effects of vouchers and other policy reforms in the United States. The institutional arrangements for providing and funding schooling vary greatly across countries. This article examines these arrangements in five countries. Using a data set that measures achievement in mathematics, empirical results show that public funding and its subsequent effect of expanded enrollment in the private sector do not erase the superior performance of private schools relative to public ones. Government restrictions on private schools' decision-making powers can negate the superior performance of private schools.
