Proponents of school choice argue that increased competition will lead to a more efficient use of resources in the public sector and should be considered in any discussion of how to improve education in Texas. However\, there has been no attempt to quantify the macroeconomic impact of school choice reform. At this event\, Arthur Laffer will present his evaluation of a specific school choice reform proposal\, the \, in terms of its impacts on graduation rates\, state economic growth\, job growth and state budget. This study was commissioned by the Texas Association of Business and the Texas Public Policy Foundation\, who are also co-sponsors of this event. \nJohn W.
