Abstract	From 1982-1997, 35 states adopted legislation, referred to as homeschool rights, that explicitly granted families the right to educate their children at home. Using data from the National Household Education Survey, this article examines the impact that this legislation has had on the decision to homeschool a child versus the alternatives of attending a public or private school. We estimate a multinomial logit model of school choice where we condition on a variety of individual, county, and state level covariates that may influence this decision. We find the probability a young child is homeschooled increases meaningfully, by 1.4 percentage points, following the passage of homeschool rights in their state. (As Provided).
