1. Testing for Sample Selection in the Milwaukee School Choice Experiment.

Author

Goldhaber, Dan D., Brewer, Dominic J., Eide, Eric R., and Rees, Daniel I.

Abstract

Examines Milwaukee Parental Choice Program data to determine whether students with unobserved characteristics correlated with achievement are more likely to apply to the voucher program. Nonapplicants have higher math and reading tests scores. However, applicants have no unmeasured characteristics (like motivation) that differ significantly from nonapplicants. (22 references) (MLH)

2. Public and Private High Schools: Is School Choice an Answer to the Productivity Problem?

Author

Goldhaber, Dan D.

Abstract

Uses 1988 National Education Longitudinal Study data to explore whether public-private high school choice would help improve students' overall achievement. Applies estimated sectoral achievement differentials to a structural school choice model to determine if parents choose schools that academically benefit their children. Private schools do not outperform public schools, but sectoral achievement differentials affect choice. (21 references) (MLH)
