Abstract: This volume was prepared by Benedikt Siegler while working at the Center for the Economics of Education of the Ifo Institute. It was completed in June 2014 and accepted as a doctoral thesis by the Department of Economics at the University of Munich (LMU) in November 2014. The thesis includes three empirical studies, each of which evaluates one distinct education policy to improve educational outcomes of juveniles and young adults: the provision of private school vouchers in the context of a school accountability system to increase educational production at low-performing public schools (Chapter 2), opening of new universities in regions without local tertiary education supply to raise tertiary education attainment by the local population (Chapter 3), and the introduction of the Bachelor degree programs at German universities to foster student mobility and employability (Chapter 4).
