Abstract
This paper estimates a general equilibrium model of school quality and household
residential and school choice for economies with multiple public school districts
and private (religious and nonsectarian) schools. The estimates, obtained through
full-solution methods, are used to simulate two large-scale private school voucher
programs in the Chicago metropolitan area: universal vouchers and vouchers
restricted to nonsectarian schools. In the simulations, both programs increase
private school enrollment and affect household residential choice. Under nonsectarian
vouchers, however, private school enrollment expands less than under
universal vouchers, and religious school enrollment declines for large nonsectarian
vouchers. Fewer households benefit from nonsectarian vouchers. (JEL H75, I21,
