The impact of immigration on school choice: Evidence from Australia
نویسنده
چکیده
If public schools respond more to immigrants by re-allocating budgets towards their needs than private schools do, increase in immigration will increase the public school attendance of immigrants and decrease that of natives. Using the 2001 Australian Census data, this paper confirms that possibility by showing that private school attendance among native-born Australians is higher in localities with higher share of immigrant population. In the meantime, immigrant private school attendance is lower where the share of their like-type immigrants is higher. These effects vary with “distance” between immigrants and natives and with socio-economic status of immigrants.
