Importance of friskolor
• Early expansion of friskolor in Sweden?
• New schools vs reformed government schools?
• For-profit companies?
Management as a missing link?
• Böhlmark & Lindahl (Economica, 2015)
– ”… an increase in the share of independent school students
improves average short- and long-term outcomes …”
• Böhlmark, Grönqvist & Vlachos (Scandinavian
Journal of Economics, forthcoming)
– ”… individual principals have a substantive impact on …
student outcomes. … it is difficult to determine which
principal characteristics that shapes successful school
management suggesting that possibly innate skills are
central”
