Collaborative Research on Competition Between Public and Private Schools and Education Policy

9320988 Epple本研究的目的是开发和分析小学和中学阶段的学校选择模型，其中包括私立学校和公立学校之间的竞争。该模型将用于评估各种公共政策替代方案的影响，如代金券和社区与开放招生的公立学校。学生的特点是能力水平和家庭收入。一个学生的教育成就既取决于他自己的能力，也取决于他同学的能力。该模型将公立和私立学校部门的学生按收入和能力进行分类，同时考虑到私立学校的财政援助政策。开发了一个与理论模型并行的计算模型，并用于探索模型的性质和研究政策预测。这项研究很重要，因为它将阐明在小学和中学各级纳入更大程度的学校选择的教育制度的后果。本研究的目的是开发和分析小学和中学阶段的学校选择模型，该模型包含私立学校和公立学校之间的竞争。该模型将用于评估各种公共政策替代方案的影响，如代金券和社区与开放招生的公立学校。学生的特点是能力水平和家庭收入。一个学生的教育成就既取决于他自己的能力，也取决于他同学的能力。该模型将公立和私立学校部门的学生按收入和能力进行分类，同时考虑到私立学校的财政援助政策。开发了一个与理论模型并行的计算模型，并用于探索模型的性质和研究政策预测。这项研究很重要，因为它将揭示在小学和中学阶段纳入更大程度的学校选择的教育制度的后果。＊＊＊

9320988 Epple The purpose of this research is to develop and analyze a model of school choice at the primary and secondary level that incorporates competition between private and public schools. The model will be used to estimate the effects of various public policy alternatives such as vouchers and neighborhood versus open enrollment public schools. Students are characterized by an ability level and household income. A student's educational achievement is dependent on one's own ability and on the abilities of his classmates. The model characterizes the sorting of students by income and ability across schools in the public and private school sectors, taking into account financial aid policies of private schools. A computational model paralleling the theoretical model is developed and used to explore properties of the model and investigate policy predictions. This research is important because it will shed light on the consequences of an educational system which incorporates a greater degree of school choice at the primary and secondary levels. *** 9320980 Romano The purpose of this research is to develop and analyze a model of school choice at the primary and secondary level that incorporates competition between private and public schools.
