Abstract

INTRODUCTION Advocates for greater school choice have long hailed school vouchers as a mechanism for improving educational systems. These advocates argue that market incentives, created through the competition for students, can induce all schools to be more effective and efficient while creating greater educational opportunities for low-income families and, possibly, increasing racial and socioeconomic integration within schools.
