The Economics of School Choice

这项研究将使用新获得的数据，为现有文献提供方法学和实质性的发现。在我的研究声明中详细描述了三个中心研究问题，但简单来说是：(1)学校对学生成绩的因果影响；(2)家长对学校的偏好，从而确定学校选择是否有可能提高学校效率；(3)联合住宿和学校选择的结构模型，这将允许模拟学生在不同的招生安排下分配到学校。每个问题都使用了最新的关于英国家长对公立学校的偏好的行政数据，结合了学生和学校成绩的数据以及地理数据。从我的研究问题中得出的文章将以在顶级期刊上发表为目标，并且还将与公共政策相关。

This research would use newly available data to contribute methodological and substantive findings to the existing literature.The three central research questions are described in detail in my research statement, but in brief are: (1) The causal impact of schools on pupil attainment (2) Parents' preferences for schools and therefore whether school choice has the potential to increase school effectiveness (3) A structural model of joint residential and school choices, which would allow simulation of the allocation of pupils to schools underalternative admissions arrangements.Each question uses newly available administrative data on parents' preferences for state schools in England, combined with data on pupil andschool attainment and geographical data.The resulting articles from my research questions would aim for publication in a top-ranking journal, and would also have relevance for publicpolicy.
