Competitive Effects of Means-Tested School Vouchers. Working Paper 46. (2010, unknown): “This would produce a spurious positive correlation between public school scores (since high‐income children tend to outperform their low‐income peers on standardized tests, on average) and competition (McEwan, 2000).”
The Role of School Improvement in Economic Development (2007, unknown): “The importance seems most clear in terms of distributional outcomes, because programs have the potential for leading to segregation of the school population in various ways that might not be desirable (cf. McEwan (2000)).”
Causes of educational segregation in Sweden – school choice or residential segregation (2016, background): “social and ethnic backgrounds, and this may exacerbate the school segregation greatly (Ball, 2003; Ball, Reay, & David, 2002; see also, Levin, 2002; McEwan, 2000).”
Peer effects on student achievement: evidence from Chile (2003, background): “…the Coleman report (Coleman, Campbell, Hobson, McPartland, Mood, Weinfeld et al., 1966), a vast empirical literature in economics and sociology has tested this hypothesis (for reviews, see Jencks & Mayer, 1990; McEwan, 2000; Nechyba, McEwan, & Older-Aguillar, 1999).1 Two papers, in parti- ∗ Tel.”

Does Segregation Still Matter? The Impact of Student Composition on Academic Achievement in High School (2005, background): “One concern about these programs is that they may increase socioeconomic segregation because research to date suggests that better educated and more motivated parents are more likely to participate in these choice programs (Levin, 1998, 2002; McEwan, 2000).”
Copula-Based Approach to Accommodate Residential Self-Selection Effects in Travel Behavior Modeling (2009, background): “McEwan, 2000, and Hamilton and Nickerson, 2003 for extensive surveys).”
How Effective Are Private Schools in Latin America? (2001, background): “In a recent study of Chilean schools, Mc Ewan (2001a) assumes that the local availability of private schools will affect choice, but not achievement.”
