An endogenous model of public school expenditures and private school enrollment

Article Abstract:

An endogenous relationship was noted between private school enrollment rates and public school expenditures. Theoretical models developed using a panel of New York state school districts reveal that decreases in public school per pupil expenditure cannot be attributed to increases in private school enrollment. Private school enrollment rates, which are sensitive to tuition changes, are influenced by changes in public school expenditure. Specification of model shows that private school enrollment varies inversely with tuition. A deduction of $2,600 in tuition would lead to an increase in private school enrollment of between 0.5% and 11%. Such increase represents a rise of 10% to 120% over the statewide mean private school enrollment rate.
