ABSTRACT: This paper theoretically examines the link between local taxes and
education choice (indicated by private school
enrollment rate or public school enrollment rate). The evidence shows that local taxes and parental choice of education are
endogenously determined by one another. More importantly, this study frames an economic theoretical background for local
taxes and parental choice of
education, which can be useful in constructing empirical models for further investigations
of this issue.
