  • Do Single-Sex School Advantages Exist? Evidence from a School Choice Lottery Program in Seoul*
    Do Single-Sex School Advantages Exist? Evidence from a School Choice Lottery Program in Seoul* Jungmin Lee Yoonsoo Park Seoul National University & IZA Korea Development Institute May 2017 Abstract We investigate the hypothesis of single-sex school advantages. Do students perform academically better in schools segregated by sex? Using Korean longitudinal data tracking individual students for 6 years from middle to high schools, we identify the types of students who prefer single-sex schools and their middle-school, individual, and household characteristics. Utilizing information on high schools they applied for in the school choice lottery system, we estimate the effects of single-sex school attendance on high-school test scores. We find little single-sex school advantages, after controlling for the gender types of the schools for which students applied. That is, the observed single-sex school advantages are mainly driven by students’ self- selection. Then, the prevailing preference for single-sex schools among parents is puzzling, for which we attempt to find some possible explanations. Keywords: single-sex schooling, school choice lotteries, academic performance, preferences for single-sex schools. JEL codes: I21, I28. * We would like to thank seminar participants at Yonsei University, Korea Academic Society of Industrial Organization, Korean Association of Applied Economics, and SNU Research in Economics Workshop. Lee’s work was supported by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea and the National Research Foundation of Korean (NRF-2016S1A5A01025292). 1 I. Introduction It is well known that students are affected by their peers in many regards. There has been an increasing amount of empirical evidence that many student outcomes, which are of importance to policy makers as well as parents, such as students’ academic performance and behavioral problems, are influenced by surrounding peers’ behaviors, their academic performance, individual characteristics and family background.

  • The Deterioration of the South Korean Real Estate Market and The
    The Deterioration of the South Korean Real Estate Market and the Response of the Government By Hidehiko Mukoyama Senior Economist Center for Pacific Business Studies Economics Department Japan Research Institute Summary 1. South Korea was the first major nation to recover from the recessionary slump triggered by the Lehman shock, and in 2010 it achieved 6.2% growth. One factor that could affect future economic performance as the underlying recovery trend continues is the expanding impact of a deteriorating real estate market. 2. Reasons for the worsening state of the real estate market include (1) government moves to strengthen measures designed to curb housing prices, which began to surge in 2005, (2) increased construction activity by real estate development companies in anticipation of bullish demand, and (3) the sudden deceleration of the economy after in the wake of the Lehman shock. 3. Also significant are structural factors, including the dramatic deceleration of new town development and population growth. The first phase of new town development was largely completed by the mid-1990s, but while a second phase was launched in the early 2000s, a fall in the population growth rate resulting from an accelerating decline in the birth rate has prompted a review of housing supplies. 4. In addition to its negative impact on the earnings of construction companies, this deterioration in the real estate market is also having a widening impact in other areas, including an increase in the amount of non-performing loans held by financial institutions. Particularly significant is the rapidly deteriorating financial positions of savings banks, which expanded their lending for real estate projects during the real estate development boom.
