This study investigates how private education fever affects tenure and occupancy choices in Seoul, South Korea. We used a bivariate probit model to control for sample selection bias that could be caused by sample selectivity from a chain of tenure and occupancy choices. This study found that households with school-age children seem to utilise housing occupancy choice through location choice. Moreover, opportunity for private education is more important to households with school-age children than for households without school-age children, and households with school-age children are more likely to choose a housing occupancy and residential location offering better chances for private education. The study’s main contributions, limitations, and policy implications are described.

这项研究调查了韩国首尔的私立教育热潮如何影响任期和居住选择。我们使用了双变量概率模型来控制样本选择偏差，该偏差可能是由终身任期和占用选择链中的样本选择性引起的。这项研究发现，有学龄儿童的家庭似乎通过位置选择来利用住房的选择。此外，有学龄儿童的家庭比没有学龄儿童的家庭接受私立教育的机会更为重要，有学龄儿童的家庭更有可能选择住房和居住地点，从而为私立教育提供更好的机会。描述了该研究的主要贡献，局限性和政策含义。
