Abstract	Despite the heated controversies, school choice has remained an elusive term. It covers a vast array of programs, initiatives and arrangements that, although basically aimed at enhancing parental choice, are very diverse in their specific outlook. Yet, the devil is in the details. Issues such as provision of information to prospective parent-consumers, exact funding formulae (for example, whether students with special learning needs are awarded a higher sum), handling of oversubscription, providing transportation, national testing or additional regulations aimed at keeping the schools accountable can presumably have a huge impact on the results of a choice program. Nonetheless, relatively little attention has been devoted to this issues. Research on school choice has tended to be restricted to one country and often to one program/locality. Comparative studies are almost non-existent. As a result, the fact that choice may be implemented through very different mechanisms and designs and in very different contexts, potentially leading to divergent outcomes, has been largely overlooked. This paper contributes to filling this gap. Using the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), a large cross-national database, the authors investigate whether and how patterns of parental choice of a private school differ among countries. The paper is divided in six sections. After the introduction, the second part reviews the evidence on school choice effects. The third part briefly looks at the functioning and the characteristics of the private sector. The fourth part introduces the data and methods. The fifth part presents the main results. Finally, a discussion follows in the last section. (Orig.).
