Do Parents Value School Effectiveness? (2020, unknown): “Our use of the term “effective” follows Rothstein (2006): an effective school is one that generates causal improvements in student outcomes.”
The Welfare Effects of Coordinated Assignment: Evidence from the New York City High School Match (2017, methodology): “We share a focus with papers interested in understanding how choice affects the assignment and sorting of students (Epple and Romano 1998, Urquiola 2005) rather than the competitive effects of choice on student achievement (Hoxby 2003, Rothstein 2006).”
Top of the Class: The Importance of Ordinal Rank (2018, unknown): “typically want to get their child into the best school possible in terms of average grades (Rothstein, 2006; Gibbons et al., 2013)This would work against any positive sorting by rank, the parents most motivated to do this would be enrolling their child in the schools with higher attainment, and so t”
Does Competition Among Public Schools Benefit Students and Taxpayers? Comment (2007, background): “In particular, suppose that some relatively high-scoring students would choose private schools in a low-choice market but would remain in the public sector when Tiebout choice is sufficient to provide public schools with desired characteristics (Rothstein 2006).”
Class-Size Caps, Sorting, and the Regression-Discontinuity Design (2009, unknown): “…McMillan, and Kim Rueben ( 2004 ) , Joseph G. Altonji, Ching-I Huang, and Christopher R. Taber ( 2005 ) , Urquiola ( 2005 ) , Damon Clark ( 2005 ) , Epple, Romano, and Holger Sieg ( 2006 ) , Chang-Tai Hsieh and Urquiola ( 2006 ) , Jesse M. Rothstein ( 2006 ) , and Maria Marta Ferreyra ( 2007 ) .”
Heterogeneous Preferences and the Efficacy of Public School Choice (2008, background): “Expanding on this literature, Rothstein (2006) investigated the possibility that parents may choose schools based on factors other than academic achievement, but maintained a similar HHI framework and aggregated analysis for measuring competition.”
Competitive Effects of Means-Tested School Vouchers. Working Paper 46. (2010, unknown): “Well‐known examples in this literature include Cullen, Jacob and Levitt (2005), Hoxby (2000) and Rothstein (2006) in the United States, and Clark (2009), and Gibbons, Machin and Silva (2008) in England.”
School Markets: The Impact of Information Approximating Schools' Effectiveness. NBER Working Paper No. 13676. (2007, unknown): “An analogous tradeoff emerges if there are peer effects (e.g. Rothstein, 2006), or networktype concerns.”
The Demand for Effective Charter Schools (2018, unknown): “…school choicemight wideneducational inequality if richer families are more likely to choose high-quality schools, and competitive incentives may be weak if most parents choose on the basis of factors other than school quality (Ladd 2002; Rothstein 2006; Barseghyan, Clark, and Coate 2014).”
Explaining Charter School Effectiveness (2013, unknown): “In a related setting involving school choice, Rothstein (2006) argues that parental choice is driven primarily by peer characteristics rather than school effectiveness.”
Market Signals: Evidence on the Determinants and Consequences of School Choice From a Citywide Lottery (2016, unknown): “, 2010), housing markets (Black, 1999; Bayer, Ferreira, & McMillan, 2007; Imberman & Lovenheim, 2016), interdistrict choice (Rothstein, 2006), and requests for teachers (Jacob & Lefgren, 2007).”
