This report presents the findings of an analysis of the fiscal effects of Proposition 174, a school-voucher initiative that appeared on the November 1993 California ballot. Although the proposition was defeated, school voucher plans are under discussion in several other states and may be revisited in California. Hence, the results of this analysis may be relevant to future policy debates in California and elsewhere.

The authors examine the evidence on vouchers in education. They consider how vouchers would affect the academic achievement of participating and non-participating students, which students might use vouchers, who would supply and regulate schooling, and how much a voucher system would cost.

They addressed these issues in the context of such diverse areas as agriculture, fisheries, energy, industry, transport, forestry and water resources

Unsustainable subsidies are pervasive in the industry, agriculture, transport and energy sectors of most OECD countries. They are expensive for governments and can have harmful environmental and social effects. Eliminating these supports requires comprehensive approaches which are supported by top political leadership, transparent in their potential effects on all parties, consistent over the long-term, and often accompanied by transition supports. This volume uses sectoral case studies to illustrate that achieving change in structural policies such as subsidies depends largely on good governance practices.
