Abstract
In Hofferth and Wissoker (1999) we estimated the effects of price and quality on mode of child care chosen. We found large negative effects of price and quality on choice, This paper presents a revised version of our original model. The new results suggest negative price effects which are smaller than those in the original paper. The estimated effe cts of child/staff ratios also become less negative and one becomes po sitive.
