Online published on 16 October, 2018. Abstract Background/Objectives The purpose of this study is to estimate the determinants affecting the private education of Korean high school students. The data is a survey of domestic private education expenses conducted by the National Statistical Office.. Methods/Statistical Analysis The author used the double-hurdle model to find out the determinants for private education. The double hurdle model analyzes consumer decision making in two stages. The first step is to use the Probit model to classify expenditures for variables in the two categories. In other words, it can be estimated whether consumers participated in private tutoring or not. The second step is to estimate the specific expenditure function by analyzing how much expenditure has occurred on the data that has been spending.. Findings As a result, the variables affecting the level of general subject participation of general high school students are gender, residence, grade, educational level of parents, monthly household income of parents. Variables affecting expenditure level were analyzed as sex, residence, parental education level, parental income type, and monthly household income of parents. Participation levels in the case of arts and physical education subjects include gender, place of residence, grade, educational level of parents, and monthly income of parents.. Improvements/Applications In terms of education policy, it is possible to find ways to solve the problem of private education and private education expenses. For example, in the case of general high school students whose primary goal is to go to college, the fact that most students participate in private tutoring requires a national alternative to participation in private tutoring.
