题目：The Effects of Universal Private School Vouchers on Enrollment,Tuition,and School Entry and Exit.

摘要：

Three-quarters of a century after Milton Friedman popularized the idea,universal school vouchers have suddenly become a reality in 17 states since 2021.These new policies promise to be one of the most far-reaching reforms in U.S.education history.We make two contributions to understanding this policy.First,we provide a rich description of the private school sector nationally,We show that private schools vary widely and are much smaller and cheaper than is typically understood.Second,we study the policy's short-term effects on student enrollment,tuition,and school entry/exit using difference-in-differences analysis comparing the 11 states that adopted universal vouchers between 2021 and2024 to non-universal voucher states.We find that universal vouchers have started to reshape the schooling market.Private school enrollment has increased by 3-4 percent on average,increased private school tuition by 1-8 percent,increased private school entry by 50-70%,and increased charter school exit by 75-80%.These effects largely align with our theory and we explain why they are likely to increase in upcoming years.
