Similar Students, Different Choices: Who Uses a School Voucher in an Otherwise Similar Population of Students
We examine what factors predict why some parents enroll their children in voucher schools while other parents with similar types of children and from similar neighborhoods do not. Furthermore, we investigate how aware parents are of their educational options, where they get their information, and what school characteristics they deem the most important. To answer these questions, we analyze the school choice patterns in the Milwaukee Parental Cho…
Learning from Schools: School Choice, Political Learning, and Policy Feedback
This article investigates the policy feedback and political learning effects of school vouchers. Of particular interest is how market‐based policies affect the likelihood that program participants will connect their experiences with the policy to the government. I examine parent survey data from an evaluation of the Milwaukee school voucher program. I find that voucher parents are more likely than public school parents to perceive that the govern…
Third-Party Governance and Performance Measurement: A Case Study of Publicly Funded Private School Vouchers
This article considers the introduction of a performance measurement reform for private schools serving students who receive state-provided vouchers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Drawing on unique panel data collected both before and after the reform, we show that private sector performance increased significantly when outcomes were publicly reported. We frame these results in the context of third-party provision of public services and argue that our …
School Vouchers and Student Attainment: Evidence from a State‐Mandated Study of Milwaukee's Parental Choice Program
In this article we examine educational attainment levels for students in Milwaukee's citywide voucher program and a comparable group of public school students. Using unique data collected as part of a state‐mandated evaluation of the program, we consider high school graduation and enrollment in postsecondary institutions for students initially exposed to voucher schools and those in public schools at the same time. We show that exposure to vouche…

Going Public: Who Leaves a Large, Longstanding, and Widely Available Urban Voucher Program
This article contributes to research concerning the determinants of student mobility between public and private schools. The authors analyze a unique set of data collected as part of a new evaluation of Milwaukee’s citywide voucher program. The authors find several important patterns. Students who switch from the private to the public sector were performing lower than their peers on standardized tests in the prior year. African Americans were dis…
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Rates Subsequent to the American Academy of Pediatrics Supine Sleep Position
OBJECTIVES: In April 1992, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended that healthy infants be positioned for sleep on their side or back to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The authors hypothesized three different forms of the intervention to examine the impact of the recommendation according to theory such as technology diffusion. Seasonality was included in the models to control its effect when testing. METHODS:…
