项目摘要

9320649 Olsen The topic of school choice has figured prominently in recent public policy debates on education reform. These debates have been long on rhetoric and short on systematic empirical studies. In this dissertation, the investigator will develop and empirically test a model that allows inferences into the following questions about school choice: (1) Which children receive a higher quality education, and which receive a lower quality education under various voucher schemes? (2) Does there exist a voucher scheme, or class of voucher schemes, which results in all children receiving a higher quality education than they current receive? (3) What role do inter-neighborhood housing price variations and transportation costs play in constraining households moving their children from their current schools to higher quality schools? (4) Which types of schools will experience an increase in demand and which types a decrease as a result of the voucher scheme? This grant will permit the investigator to collect data from a random sample of 600 households living in a metropolitan area and having at least one child in elementary school. Data to be collected under this project do not currently exist in one data set or in a form which allows the investigator to use data from various sources. The survey data will permit the investigator to conduct realistic simulations about the impacts of different school choice schemes.

9320649 Olsen学校选择的话题在最近有关教育改革的公共政策辩论中占有重要地位。这些辩论一直在修辞方面，并且在系统的经验研究方面缺乏。在本论文中，研究人员将开发并经验测试一个模型，该模型可以推断出有关学校选择的以下问题：（1）哪些孩子接受更高质量的教育，哪些在各种优惠券计划下接受较低质量的教育？（2）是否存在凭证计划或凭单计划，这会导致所有接受的儿童接受比目前接受的更高的教育？（3）邻居间住房价格变化和运输成本在限制家庭将孩子从目前的学校转移到高质量的学校方面有什么作用？（4）由于凭证计划，哪种类型的学校将经历需求增加以及哪种类型的减少？该赠款将允许研究人员从居住在大都市地区的600个家庭的随机样本中收集数据，并在小学至少有一个孩子。当前，要在此项目下收集的数据以一个数据集或允许研究人员可以使用来自各种来源的数据的形式存在。调查数据将使研究人员能够对不同学校选择方案的影响进行现实模拟。
