QUERY Segmented Market Labor Dynamics (SD6454)

Hi,

I'm interested in the way teachers "flow" in between different types 
of schools in Chile.

In Chile, good teachers are a scarce resource and schools have to compete 
for them.  Private schools are allowed to hire+fire, to charge fees and 
to freely offer salaries to teachers.  Public schools have (as mean value) 
20% of a private schools' budget, have to respect the national salary scheme 
and their possibility to fire are severely restricted.  Under these 
conditions, one would expect the private schools to "sort out" the best 
teachers, to the detriment of the rest of the school system (which shows 
huge inequaity in results).

I tried to find system dynamic articles about the subject (or related stuff) 
but I did not find them.  If someone knows of relevant work, I'd be grateful 
to see the references.

Thanks,
