英文文献摘要:
This paper investigates the impact of primary school zoning on housing prices in Australia. Using comprehensive data on both schools and housing transactions in New South Wales along with the combination of boundary and regression discontinuity design techniques, we find that the price of houses located in high-performing side of primary school zone boundaries is, on average, about 2.7% to 3.3% higher than that of similar houses located in low-performing side of these boundaries. This finding provides not only an insight into the price elasticity of demand for high quality education, but also has important policy implications as it highlights the need to address the potential educational inequalities associated with school zoning in Australia.
