The Political Economy of School Choice: Linking Theory and Evidence

  • Large African-American minority shares in the schools increases the proportion of whites that choose private schooling.
  • Findings indicate that the marginal household choosing between private and public schooling views a dollar spent on private tuition as between 30% and 34% more effective than a tax dollar spent on public education.
  • A voucher roughly equal to 20% of public spending per student, substantially increases private enrollment, slightly lowers the tax rate, and benefits 90% of households, though it may slightly lower public spending per student.
