France’s Almost Public Private Schools

Giuseppe Bertola

No 11605, CEPR Discussion Papers from C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers

Abstract: This paper uses a large and detailed dataset to characterize the enrolment and educational performance of regulated and subsidized French private schools. Individual ability reduces the probability of private secondary schooling. Structural models indeed find that both observable and unobservable initial ability matter less in private than in State schools for successful secondary school completion and access to tertiary education.
