Evaluating Parental Choice in Public Education: Policy beyond the Monopoly Model.
Spicer, Michael W.; Hill, Edward W.
American Journal of Education, v98 n2 p97-113 Feb 1990
Uses an economic model of the provision of educational services to evaluate the efficiency of an urban educational system. Concludes that a voucher system would not promote efficiency and would increase racial and social segregation, but minischools and competitive contracting-out might aid the promotion of common social values.
