The book contains a number of essays that address the recent debate
on school choice and vouchers. In addition to papers that provide
opinions on the role of government in education, the book offers a
number of papers that analyze many of the issues employing advanced
econometric techniques. Efforts have been made to balance arguments
made by authors by including opposing views.
The book will contain three major parts. Part 1, Theory and
Practice of Choice in Education, offers a discussion of the
economic rationale for government interference in schooling and
opposing views on private school choice and vouchers, whether
educational production is not conducive for the creation of
for-profit organizations, and a simulation study to discern, among
others, the effect of choice on educational opportunity.
Part II, Are Private Schools Superior to Public Schools,
contains several studies which compare achievement in public and
private (especially parochial) schools, and what implications such
results have for market approaches.
Part III, Empirical Studies of School Choice and Vouchers,
contains research from several countries (US, Europe, Japan)
concerning the success and failure of school choice programs.
