Abstract

Voucher systems have been vastly discussed on their ability to provide better quality education and more efficient school systems, but also on the role they play on segregation mechanisms through education markets. With free school choice, parents' preferences and the trade-offs they take into account become relevant, as they are free to decide between educational alternatives and are not restricted to their geographical location's school assignment. In this context, the Chilean case is a singular one due to its nationwide, unrestricted, system implementation. Chilean household's preferences have shown to be complex, heterogeneous, and tightly bound to socioeconomic attributes, as well as deeply intertwined with residential location, especially in Santiago, being a source for social and spatial inequities distributed around the city. Comprehending household's sensitivities on both of these choices and their interactions is essential for understanding the city's complex urban and social structure.
