Abstract:
This paper evaluates the effects of a major Swedish school choice reform. The reform in
1992 increased school choice and competition among public schools as well as through
a large-scale introduction of private schools. We estimate the effects of school choice
and competition, using precise geographical information on the locations of school
buildings and children’s homes for the entire Swedish population for several cohorts
affected at different stages in their educational career. We can measure the long-term
effects up to age 25. We find that increased school choice had very small, but positive,
effects on marks at the end of compulsory schooling, but virtually zero effects on longer
term outcomes such as university education, employment, criminal activity and health.
