چکیده انگلیسی
Economic theory advances various arguments in favor of and against privatizing education. In this paper, we investigate empirically the extent to which these arguments influence voters' opinions. Two popular referenda are studied in which some 400,000 voters in two Swiss cantons voted on the issue of education vouchers and direct subsidies to private schools. We find that successful attempts to move towards a more privatized education system rest mainly on pure income effects, some other socioeconomic determinants, ideological convictions, and possibly, the perceived quality of the public schools. Peer-group and tax-burden effects, which play a prominent role in the theoretical literature, do not appear to significantly influence voting behavior.
