In the model, households choose among public, private, and charter schools, and a regulator authorizes charter entry and mandates charter exit. The model is estimated for Washington, D.C. According to the estimates, charters generate net social gains by providing additional school options, and they benefit non-white, low-income, and middle-school students the most. Further, policies that raise the supply of prospective charter entrants in combination with high authorization standards enhance social welfare.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOSCHOOL SYSTEMCOMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENTCOLLEGEEFFECTIVE SCHOOLSSCHOOL COSTSTEACHERSLOW ENROLLMENTSNUMBER OF SCHOOLSSTUDENT GROUPSCHOOL DATASCHOOL ENROLMENTSCHOOLINGTUITIONSCHOOL-YEARSCHOOL DAYURBAN SCHOOLQUALITY SCHOOLSSCHOOL ENROLLMENTHIGH SCHOOLACADEMIC VIABILITYPAPERSSCHOOL-AGE POPULATIONSCHOOL LOCATIONEDUCATIONAL COSTSFACULTYHIGH SCHOOLSPUPIL FUNDINGOPEN ACCESSMIDDLE SCHOOLKNOWLEDGESTUDENT COSTSVOCATIONAL SCHOOLSEDUCATION STATISTICSSCHOOL EFFECTIVENESSSCHOOL PRINCIPALSGEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTIONEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTSPECIAL EDUCATIONPRIVATE SCHOOLSSTUDENT DEMANDACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTECONOMICS OF EDUCATIONSCHOOL CLIMATERESEARCH REPORTEDUCATED PARENTSSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTLEARNINGRESEARCHSCHOOL QUALITYNET SOCIAL GAINSCHOOL STUDENTSPUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMMIDDLE SCHOOLSREGULAR SCHOOLSTEACHINGBOARD OF EDUCATIONSCHOOL LEVELSSCHOOL SURVEYACHIEVEMENT DATASCHOOL-AGESCHOOL LEVELREADINGENROLLMENT BY GRADESCHOOL YEARACADEMIC PERFORMANCESTUDENT POPULATIONSCIENCERACIAL SEGREGATIONGRADUATION RATEAVERAGE CLASS SIZEVALUESSTUDENTSCHOOLSSCHOOL ATTENDANCESCHOOL DISTRICTSTUDENT CHOICEEDUCATION REFORMSCHOOL ENTRYCURRICULAURBAN SCHOOLSENROLLMENT DATAMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONGRADUATION RATESSCHOOL LEADERSSCHOOL REFORMRESEARCHERSLITERATURESOCIAL SCIENCEEARLY CHILDHOODCLASS SIZEBLACK STUDENTSALTERNATIVE SCHOOLSSCHOOL COSTELEMENTARY SCHOOLPARENTAL INCOMESOCIAL WELFARECURRICULUMTEACHERMIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTSACADEMIC PROGRAMSSTUDENT BODYEDUCATIONLOW-INCOME STUDENTSSCHOOL PERFORMANCEETHNIC COMPOSITIONSCHOOL SUPPLYSCHOOL FUNDINGCATHOLIC SCHOOLSTEACHING METHODSPUBLIC SCHOOLPUBLIC SCHOOLSSCHOOL EXPERIENCEUNIVERSITYSTUDENTSSCHOOL-AGE CHILDRENNUMBER OF STUDENTSFEESSCHOOL BUILDINGSPARTNERSHIPS IN EDUCATIONELEMENTARY SCHOOLSCLASSROOMFORMULA FUNDINGSCHOOLFACULTY DEVELOPMENTLANGUAGE CURRICULUMAVERAGE NUMBER OF CHILDRENACADEMIC YEAREDUCATION STUDENTSPRIVATE SCHOOLSTUDENT GROUPSSCHOOL TUITIONWorking PaperWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-7383
