本文估计了特许学校对在校学生和邻近公立学校学生的影响。我利用密歇根标准化测试项目的校级数据，比较了特许学校和公立学校学生考试成绩的变化。我发现，与公立学校的学生相比，特许学校学生的考试成绩没有提高，实际上可能还会下降。本文还利用密歇根州特许法产生的外生变异来确定特许学校对公立学校的影响。结果表明，特许学校对邻近公立学校的考试成绩没有显著影响。(c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
This paper estimates the effect of charter schools on both students attending them and students at neighboring public schools. Using school-level data from Michigan's standardized testing program, I compare changes in test scores between charter and public school students. I find that test scores of charter school students do not improve, and may actually decline, relative to those of public school students. The paper also exploits exogenous variation created by Michigan's charter law to identify the effects of charter schools on public schools. The results suggest that charter schools have had no significant effect on test scores in neighboring public schools. (c) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
