The Economics of School Choice

这项研究将使用新获得的数据，为现有的文献提供方法和实质性的发现。我的研究报告中详细描述了三个中心研究问题，但简要来说是：（1）学校对学生成绩的因果影响（2）家长对学校的喜好，以及择校是否有潜力提高学校效能（3）一个联合住宅和学校选择的结构模型，这将允许模拟学生在替代入学安排下的学校分配。每个问题都使用了最新的关于家长对英格兰公立学校偏好的行政数据，结合学生和学校成绩的数据以及地理数据。从我的研究问题中产生的文章将致力于在顶级期刊上发表，and would also也have relevant相关for publicpolicy公共政策.

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.
