Does Public School Competition Affect Teacher Quality?

Overview Choice has been promoted as a potential way to improve schooling, but the justification for that position is largely based on theoretical ideas. The empirical foundation for that position has been thin. Because there has not been extensive modern experience in the United States with choice of individual schools, little information has accumulated about its impact on public schools. This analysis focuses on how public competition affects public school outcomes. Under most conceivable scenarios of expanded choice, even with private school vouchers, the public school system will still remain the majority supplier of schooling. Therefore, it is important to know what might happen to quality and outcomes in the remaining public schools. This research is designed to provide insights about that from an analysis of how public schools respond to competition from other public schools.
