摘要 特许学校是否会从非特许学校抽走资源和高成就同伴？我们就特许学校扩张对马萨诸塞州非特许学校学生的财政和教育后果提供新证据；该州会对因学生转入特许学校而流失学生的学区给予临时补偿。利用2011年一项取消表现不佳学区特许学校数量上限的改革，我们采用互补的合成控制（SC）和双重差分工具变量（IV-DiD）估计量进行分析。我们的结果表明，特许学校扩张使学区总体生均收入和支出保持不变，但促使学区将支出从资本投资和支持服务转向教学和薪资，并最终提高了非特许学校学生的数学成绩。
Abstract
<h3>Abstract</h3> Do charter schools drain resources and high-achieving peers from non-charter schools? We provide new evidence on the fiscal and educational consequences of charter expansion for non-charter students in Massachusetts, which temporarily compensates districts losing students to charter schools. Exploiting a 2011 reform that lifted caps on charter schools for underperforming districts, we use complementary synthetic control (SC) and differences- in-differences instrumental variables (IV-DiD) estimators. Our results suggest charter expansion leaves districts’ overall per-pupil revenue and expenditure unchanged, but induces districts to shift expenditure from capital investment and support services to instruction and salaries, and ultimately increases non-charter students’ achievement in math.
