Produktbeschreibung
Private tutoring is a widespread phenomenon in many
developing countries, but little academic literature
exists on private tutoring in Vietnam. This book
briefly reviews the incidence of private tutoring in
the world before offering more in-depth analysis for
Vietnam. Factors that determine student attendance
at private tutoring classes are considered at the
individual, household, and community levels. Private
tutoring is found to have significant impact on a
student s academic performance. This book also
contributes to the available estimation techniques
by extending the simultaneous Tobit model of Amemiya
(1974) to a joint Tobit-ordered probit econometric
model to address the possible endogeneity of
household spending on private tutoring. This book
should be useful to policy makers, researchers, and
those who are interested in the economics of
education.
