We replicate the estimation approach of Campbell (1998) and find a strongly positive effect from attendance at Catholic school or private independent schools on community service participation, civic skills, civic confidence, political knowledge and political tolerance. The results are reasonably robust to alternative specifications. We consider the implications of these results for policy.}, journal={Education Policy Analysis Archives}, author={Belfield, Clive R.}, year={2004}, month={Aug.}, pages={43} }
