The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of after-school and EBS internet/broadcast
on the private education expenditure. For this study, we use the data from the third cycle of
"The Study on the Actual Status and Its Level of School Education in Korea in Middle
Schools" surveyed by KEDI in 2010. To address potential sample selection and self-selection
bias, we apply heckman, propensity matching score models in addition to tobit model. We find
that participation of after-school program leads to significant decrease in private education
expenditure across all models. Watching EBS broadcast leads to significant decrease in private
education expenditure in the tobit and propensity matching score models, not heckman model.
Thus, we find that after school program and EBS internet/broadcast have an effect on the
reduce of private expenditure at the middle school level. However, this study has a limitation
that we did not divide the effect of EBS by curricular. Also the result of this study differs
from recent Kim and Byun(2010)’s one, thus more further studies are needed.
