The Changing Selectivity of American Colleges
Over the past few decades, the average college has not become more selective: the reverse is true, though not dramatically. People who believe that college selectivity is increasing may be extrapolating from the experience of a small number of colleges such as members of the Ivy League, Stanford, Duke, and so on. These colleges have experienced rising selectivity, but their experience turns out to be the exception rather than the rule. Only the t…

College Choices: The Economics of Where to Go, When to Go, and How to Pay for It
Aspiring college students and their families have many options. A student can attend an in-state or an out-of-state school, a public or private college, a two-year community college program or a four-year university program. Students can attend full-time and have a Bachelor of Arts degree by the age of twenty-two or mix college and work, progressing toward a degree more slowly. To make matters more complicated, the array of financial aid availabl…

Now that the US Supreme Court has declared school voucher programs constitutional, the question of what the effects of school choice will be becomes especially pressing.

Combining the results of empirical research with analyses of the basic economic forces underlying local educational markets, this book presents e…
School Choice and School Productivity: Could School Choice Be a Tide that Lifts All Boats?
This chapter investigates whether school choice can improve school productivity. It explains the economic logic which suggests that choice will affect productivity, and provides evidence on the relation between school choice and school productivity. The chapter analyzes the academic achievement and school productivity effects of three school choice reforms in the U.S.: the vouchers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; charter schools in Michigan; and charter…
Does Competition Among Public Schools Benefit Students and Taxpayers?
Tiebout choice among districts is the most powerful market force in American public education. Naive estimates of its effects are biased by endogenous district formation. I derive instruments from the natural boundaries in a metropolitan area. My results suggest that metropolitan areas with greater Tiebout choice have more productive public schools and less private schooling. Little of the effect of Tiebout choice works through its effect on hous…
