中文摘要
导致公立与私立教育之间需求大幅转移的学校政策，可能促使部分私立学校进入或退出市场。我们以纽约市的公立学校资金改革为背景，研究了在市场结构固定与变化两种情形下政策效应的差异。我们发现，有证据表明私立学校数量因该改革而减少。利用私立教育需求与供给模型，我们估计该改革对学校入学人数的影响中有20%源于私立学校退出的增加和进入的减少。（JEL H75, I21, I22, I28）
Abstract
School policies that cause a large demand shift between public and private schooling may cause some private schools to enter or exit the market. We study how the policy effects differ under a fixed versus changing market structure in the context of a public school funding reform in New York City. We find evidence of a reduction in private schools in response to the reform. Using a model of demand for and supply of private schooling, we estimate that 20 percent of the reform’s effect on school enrollments came from increased private school exit and reduced private school entry.
