Optimal Multilevel Matching in Clustered Observational Studies: A Case Study of the Effectiveness of Private Schools Under a Large-Scale Voucher System (2014, background): “Other work has found effects that are either not statistically detectable (McEwan 2001;Hsieh andUrquiola 2006) or are much smaller (Lara, Mizala, and Repetto 2011).”
The effects of generalized school choice on achievement and stratification: Evidence from Chile's voucher program (2006, background): “6 For further discussion of the school choice reforms in Chile, see McEwan (2000), and McEwan and Carnoy (2000).”
The Role and Impact of Public-Private Partnerships in Education (2009, background): “By contrast, McEwan (2001) used a similar estimation and found that adjusted differences in math test scores between public schools and different types of private schools—Catholic voucher, Protestant voucher, and nonreligious voucher schools—ranged from 0.02 to 0.31 standard deviations.”
Optimal Multilevel Matching in Clustered Observational Studies: A Case Study of the School Voucher System in Chile (2014, background): “Other studies have found either effects that are not statistically detectable (Hsieh and Urquiola 2006; McEwan 2001) or are much smaller (Lara et al. 1As of 2007, only 16% of U.S. students lived in areas with an active voucher system.”
Evaluating the effectiveness of private education across countries: a comparison of methods (2004, background): “Regarding the persistent advantage of private schools in Belgium and Brazil, it would be interesting to examine McEwan (2000, 2001)’s hypothesis.”
Home and Instruction Effects on Emergent Literacy in a Sample of Chilean Kindergarten Children (2009, background): “…in Chile, there has been much debate about the relative efficiency and quality of voucher, private, and public schools (Hsieh & Urquiola, 2003; McEwan, 2001, 2002; McEwan & Carnoy, 2000), especially as the number of voucher schools has increased to the point that today they serve almost 50%…”
Bringing the Schools Back in: The Stratification of Educational Achievement in the Chilean Voucher System. (2012, methodology): “In line with previous research on the Chilean voucher system, we find that religious private-voucher schools feature higher achievement than secular ones with an average advantage of 10% of a standard deviation in test scores (McEwan, 2001).”
Peer effects on student achievement: evidence from Chile (2003, background): “If the inclusion 8 For descriptions and empirical analyses of Chile’s voucher system, see McEwan (2001) and McEwan and Carnoy (2000). of school fixed effects yields estimates of peer effects that are not statistically different from zero (but similar to the OLS estimates), then it is not plausible…”
