摘要

我们研究特许学校的扩张对公立学校种族隔离的影响，使用多种种族分类和隔离措施来定义。我们的研究设计利用了学校系统内特许学校扩张的年级差异和利用特许学校开放的工具变量方法。特许学校适度地增加了对黑人、西班牙裔、亚裔和白人学生的学校隔离。平均而言，特许学校使黑人和西班牙裔学生接触其他种族或族裔同学的相对可能性降低了6%。对于大都市地区，我们的分析揭示了相互抵消的力量，因为特许学校减少了地区之间的隔离。(j21, i24, j15)

The Effect of Charter Schools on School Segregation

We examine the impact of the expansion of charter schools on racial segregation in public schools, defined using multiple measures of racial sorting and isolation. Our research design utilizes between-grade differences in charter expansion within school systems and an instrumental variables approach leveraging charter school openings. Charter schools modestly increase school segregation for Black, Hispanic, Asian, and White students. On average, charters have caused a 6 percent decrease in the relative likelihood of Black and Hispanic students being exposed to schoolmates of other racial or ethnic groups. For metropolitan areas, our analysis reveals countervailing forces, as charters reduce segregation between districts. (JEL I21, I24, J15)
