Our results even indicate that lottery losers score better on attitudes towards diversity. It seems therefore that exposure to more diverse peers (and teachers) boosts attitudes towards diversity without harming any other outcome. 8/9

Concerns of parents about their children’s school assignment therefore appear to be based on characteristics of schools (which parents can observe) and not on the effects schools have academic or non-academic outcomes (which parents do not observe). 7/9

Our key result is that we also find no negative effects on any of the other outcomes including attitudes towards school, behavior inside and outside school, school satisfaction, civic engagement, personality traits and friends. 6/9

Despite the less attractive school characteristics, losing the admission lottery has no negative effects on students’ academic outcomes. Lottery losers are equally likely to graduate from the academic track on time and equally likely enroll in university. 5/9

Losing the admission lottery results in placement in a school with less attractive characteristics. Distance to school increases, it’s more likely that the school offers lower tracks, more teachers are in lower pay scales and more peers are lower performing or from lower income families. 4/9

We combine unique survey data with data from the school match and register data to answer this question. We focus on students in the academic track. 3/9

Secondary schools in Amsterdam use DA with ties broken by lottery numbers. 20% of the students are not assigned to the school they rank first. Is that detrimental for outcomes that parents and students care about? 2/9
