Study: Mobility, Housing Markets, and Schools: Estimating General Equilibrium Effects of Interdistrict Choice

By ADF Alliance Alert

By: Eric Brunner, Sung-Woo Cho, and Randall Reback Occasional Paper No. 184 Mobility, Housing Markets, and Schools: Estimating General Equilibrium Effects of Interdistrict Choice, National Center for the Study of Privatization in Education at Columbia University. "The authors find that school enrollment policies based on choice instead of residential location tends to equalize housing prices across districts with the effect of reducing income disparities across neighborhoods.

As a result, income becomes a less defining criterion for the ability to move to any particular neighborhood as housing prices are more nearly equalized."
