How Vouchers Could Change the Market for Education (2002, methodology): “Further, based on the work of Nechyba (1999) and Epple and Romano (2002), I conjecture that it is possible to design targeted voucher systems that would result in better outcomes for most if not all students in large urban school districts like these.”
Admission, Tuition, and Financial Aid Policies in the Market for Higher Education (2006, background): “1 Theoretical studies include Arnott and Rowse (1987), Bearse, Glomm, and Ravikumar (1996), Benabou (1996a, 1996b), Caucutt (2002), deBartolome (1990), De Fraja and Iossa (2002), Ehrenberg and Shermam (1984), Epple, Newlon, and Romano (2002), Epple and Romano (1998, 2002) , Fernandez and Rogerson (”

Heterogeneous Preferences and the Efficacy of Public School Choice (2008, background): “…(1998), Vanourek et al. (1998), Greene et al. (1997), Kleitz et al. (2000), Schneider et al. (1998), Glazerman (1997), Nechyba (1999, 2000, 2003), Epple and Romano (1998, 2002), Bayer, Ferreira and McMillan (2004)), they have not estimated heterogeneity in parental choices nor linked this with…”
The effects of generalized school choice on achievement and stratification: Evidence from Chile's voucher program (2006, background): “Although they do not have the data to assess the effect on educational productivity, Fiske and Ladd’s (2000) analysis of the open-enrollment program among public schools in New Zealand suggests that a major effect of choice has been to induce greater segregation.”
Heterogeneous Peer Effects and Rank Concerns: Theory and Evidence (2017, unknown): “19 Moreover, as noted in the survey by Epple and Romano (2011), experiments with random assignment to classrooms are rare, especially beyond primary school.”
INCENTIVES, CHOICE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE PROVISION OF PUBLIC SERVICES (2003, background): “There is clearly a tension between pursuing goals of equality in service provision and greater decentralization and choice when the production process depends on who else is consuming the good (see Epple and Romano, 2002).”
Competition and Incentives with Motivated Agents (2005, background): “Other approaches to the issue, such as Epple and Romano (2002), have emphasized peer-group effects (i.e., school quality depends on the quality of the mean student) but as far as “supply side” factors are concerned they assume that some schools are more productive than others for exogenous reasons.”
