Abstract | This paper investigates the effects of primary school choices on cognitive and non-cognitive development in children using data from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC). We militate against the problems associated with individual unobserved heterogeneity by exploiting both the richness of LSAC data and contemporary econometric methods. We find that sending children to Catholic or independent primary schools has no significant effect on their cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes. |
