Abstract

Prior research suggests that families prefer schools with higher test scores, shorter distances from home, and certain student demographics. We build on this using data from New Orleans, a context well suited to identification of parent preferences because of its deferred acceptance algorithm and extensive, standardized, and broadly accessible school information. This allows us to study revealed preferences for a richer set of characteristics. We find that families prefer schools with higher school value-added, more extracurricular activities, and after-school childcare. We also find heterogeneity by family income that is more consistent with income constraints than preference heterogeneity. Finally, we show how methodology and data shape the results.
家庭想要什么学校(为什么)?新奥尔良的偏好证据
先前的研究表明,家庭更喜欢考试成绩更高、离家距离更短、学生人口结构特定的学校。我们使用新奥尔良的数据建立在这一基础上,由于其延迟接受算法和广泛、标准化和可广泛获取的学校信息,新奥尔良非常适合确定家长的偏好。这使我们能够研究揭示的偏好,以获得更丰富的特征。我们发现,家庭更喜欢学校附加值更高、课外活动更多、课后托儿的学校。我们还发现,家庭收入的异质性比偏好异质性更符合收入约束。最后,我们展示了方法论和数据是如何影响结果的。

期刊介绍: Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis (EEPA) publishes manuscripts of theoretical or practical interest to those engaged in educational evaluation or policy analysis, including economic, demographic, financial, and political analyses of education policies, and significant meta-analyses or syntheses that address issues of current concern. The journal seeks high-quality research on how reforms and interventions affect educational outcomes; research on how multiple educational policy and reform initiatives support or conflict with each other; and research that informs pending changes in educational policy at the federal, state, and local levels, demonstrating an effect on early childhood through early adulthood.
