Demand and Supply Elasticities for Private Education: a Rejoinder

In their reply to my (1991) article in this issue, Martinello and West (1991, this issue) (hereafter MW) question whether demand for private education is really inelastic. Second, they model the supply of private education and conclude that subsidization of private schools generally would not affect the magnitude of supply elasticity. Third, they contend that costs in public schools may be larger than commonly believed. Otherwise, they accept my generalization of the partial analysis in their 1988 article, and the related conclusion that governmental savings from induced migration into private schools would be highly contingent on the size of elasticities.
