Notes: Estimates using method proposed by Artemov, Che, and He (2021). Sample restricted to students admitted to a clearly feasible choice (where they scored above the fifth percentile of admitted students). Dependent variable is an indicator for the student’s assigned school. Alternatives consist of five randomly selected clearly feasible schools. Regressions also include distance squared, number of programs offered, and number of vacancies. Standard errors are clustered at the junior high school level; ^*p < 0.1, ^**p < 0.05, ^***p < 0.01. Each column reports estimates from a separate regression for students in a given BECE score decile.
