在本文中，我们看看在德国小学择校。所使用的数据来自北莱茵-威斯特法伦州（NRW）的一个主要城市伍珀塔尔，2008年取消了学区，允许自由选择学校。在这里，我们看看2008年之前的情况，以了解更多关于学区存在的选择。我们的分析表明，访问一所不是指定公立学校的小学并不罕见。此外，家长在选择学校时考虑到学校的距离、学校的质量和社会经济构成。来自贫困社区的家庭倾向于把他们的孩子送到指定的学校。然而，学区内移民和/或经济困难家庭的比例很高，促使家长选择另一所学校。老年家庭做出隔离选择，而弱势家庭的结果并不明确。选择对未被选择学校的构成的负面外部影响很大，小学的隔离程度很高，超过了居住隔离的程度。
In this paper we look at school choice in primary schools in Germany. The data used is from Wuppertal, a major city in North-Rhine Westphalia (NRW), where school districts were abolished in 2008 to allow for free school choice. Here we look at the situation before 2008 to learn more about choice in the presence of school districts. Our analysis shows that it is not uncommon to visit a primary school that is not the assigned public school. Moreover, parents choose schools taking into account the distance to school, the quality and the socioeconomic composition of the school. Families from disadvantaged neighborhoods tend to send their children to the assigned school. A high percentage of migrants and/or economically disadvantaged families in the school district, however, induces parents to choose another school. Advantaged families make segregating choices, whereas the results for disadvantaged are not clear cut. The negative external effect of choice on the composition of the not chosen school is significant and the level of segregation in the primary schools is high and exceeds the level of residential segregation.
