Abstract	This research analyses the changes in performance for Chicago high schools between 1989 and 1994 following the introduction of site- based management in 1988. The purpose of this paper is to assess whether this decentralization improved performance or not. The authors modeled the change from centralized to decentralized control . .. and used cost indirect output distance functions to model decentralized control. Malmquist productivity index results show very little improvement in productivity with sample achieved improvements off-setting realized declines. Second stage regression results, though, provide some evidence of small improvements in efficiency over this time period. Thus, the overall reults are mixed. (DIPF/orig.)
