This volume brings together the most current empirical research
on two important innovations reshaping American education
today-voucher programs and charter schools. Contributors include
the foremost analysts in education policy. Of specific significance
is cutting-edge research that evaluates the impact of vouchers on
academic performance in the New York City, Washington, D.C., and
Dayton, Ohio, school systems. The volume also looks beyond the
American experience to consider the impact of market-based
education as pioneered by New Zealand. Contributors also take stock
of the movement's effects on public schools in particular and
public opinion at-large. With thorough summaries of the existing
research and the legal issues facing school choice, Charters,
Vouchers, and Public Education will be key to readers who want to
stay current with the burgeoning debates on vouchers and charter
schools. Contributors include Terry Moe (Stanford University and
the Hoover Institution), Gregg Vanourek (Yale University), Chester
E. Finn Jr. (Manhattan Institute and the Fordham Foundation), Bruno
