中文摘要
我们考察特许学校扩张对公立学校种族隔离的影响，其中种族隔离通过多种种族分选与隔离指标加以界定。我们的研究设计利用学制系统内不同年级之间特许学校扩张的差异，并采用以特许学校开办作为工具的工具变量方法。特许学校适度提高了黑人、西班牙裔、亚裔和白人学生的学校隔离程度。平均而言，特许学校使黑人和西班牙裔学生接触其他种族或族裔同学的相对可能性下降了6%。就大都市区而言，我们的分析揭示了相互抵消的力量，因为特许学校降低了学区之间的隔离程度。(JEL I21, I24, J15)
Abstract
We examine the impact of the expansion of charter schools on racial segregation in public schools, defined using multiple measures of racial sorting and isolation. Our research design utilizes between-grade differences in charter expansion within school systems and an instrumental variables approach leveraging charter school openings. Charter schools modestly increase school segregation for Black, Hispanic, Asian, and White students. On average, charters have caused a 6 percent decrease in the relative likelihood of Black and Hispanic students being exposed to schoolmates of other racial or ethnic groups. For metropolitan areas, our analysis reveals countervailing forces, as charters reduce segregation between districts. (JEL I21, I24, J15)
