面向富人的私立学校的存在如何影响公共教育的质量?理论和证据表明,这种联系很大程度上取决于政治制度。我们发展了一种理论,将私立教育和生育决策与公立学校支出投票结合起来。我们发现,在基础广泛的民主国家中,大型私立教育部门的存在有利于公立学校,在该民主国家中,政治家对低收入家庭做出反应,但在政治上由富人主导的社会中却排挤了公共教育支出。该理论的主要预测与美国的州级数据和微观数据以及国际学生评估计划研究的跨国证据一致。版权所有,Wiley-Blackwell。
How is the quality of public education affected by the presence of private schools for the rich? Theory and evidence suggest that the link depends crucially on the political system. We develop a theory that integrates private education and fertility decisions with voting on public schooling expenditures. We find that the presence of a large private education sector benefits public schools in a broad-based democracy where politicians are responsive to low-income families but crowds out public education spending in a society that is politically dominated by the rich. The main predictions of the theory are consistent with state-level data and micro data from the U.S. as well as cross-country evidence from the Programme for International Student Assessment study.
