Abstract | Research on the effectiveness of educational programs has centered on evaluating shortterm outcomes, such as standardized test scores. This research examines the long-term consequences of free school choice programs offered to primary school students at the transition to secondary school. The main question is whether the effects of free school choice persist beyond high school and lead to long-term enhancements in human capital and well-being. To address this issue, Victor Lavy examines a school-choice experiment conducted two decades ago in Tel Aviv, Israel. In Lavy (2010) he analyzed the short- and medium-term effects on cognitive outcomes and schooling attainment during middle and high school. With the passage of time, Lavy can now evaluate whether school choice among public schools has a long-term impact on social and economic outcomes. This research provides the first evidence of links between school choice and students' employment, earnings, and social outcomes at adulthood. Lavy examines the impact on various types of post-secondary schooling that vary by quality, along with the impact on employment, earnings, and welfare-dependency at about age 30. His results show that the school-choice experiment increased a wide range of post-secondary schooling measures. [This research brief is based on Victor Lavy's "Long Run Effects of Free School Choice: College Attainment, Employment, Earnings, and Social Outcomes at Adulthood."] (ERIC). |
