Okul seçimlerinde pozitif ayrımcılık: Rezerv kontenjanlar ve devlet bursları

Both school voucher and reserve programs have recently become popular affirmative action policy tools to provide low-income students with further alternatives. While the idea of voucher is simply to fund private school expenses of these students through public resources, affirmative action aims at making good public schools more accessible for them. The current practice is to treat these options separately, they are separate and independent programs. We argue that the two policy tools can be considered together because (1) both reserve seats and school vouchers aim at providing better alternatives for low-income students, and (2) there might be unintended consequences when they are considered separately, that is, when a disadvantaged student is endowed with the right of both reserve seats and vouchers. Our contribution is the design of a mechanism which simultaneously determines an assignment of school seats and voucher allocation. The outcome of this mechanism improves students' welfare compared to the outcome when these tools are considered separately. Keywords: school choice, stability, voucher, affirmative action
