an agenda for increasing grant Funding of emergency medicine Education research
Academic Emergency Medicine, 2012Co-Authors: Esther K Choo, Rosemarie Fernandez, Emily M Hayden, Jeffrey I Schneider, Brian Clyne, Shiphra Ginsburg, Larry D GruppenAbstract:Funding is a perennial challenge for medical Education researchers. Through a consensus process, the authors developed a multifaceted agenda for increasing Funding of Education research in emergency medicine (EM). Priority agenda items include developing resources to increase the competitiveness of medical Education research faculty in grant applications, identifying means by which departments may bolster their faculty’s grant writing success, taking long-term steps to increase the number of grants available to Education researchers in the field, and encouraging a shift in cultural attitudes toward Education research.

A dynamic general equilibrium analysis of the political economy of public Education
Journal of Population Economics, 2006Co-Authors: Jorge SoaresAbstract:The primary objective of this paper is to highlight the distinct roles of altruism and of self-interest in the political determination of a public Education policy. I assess the relative importance of three factors in the determination of the equilibrium level of this policy: altruism, the impact of public Funding of Education on social security benefits, and its impact on factor prices. I then focus on the impact of implementing a social security system on the equilibrium levels of Education Funding and on welfare. I find that although in the benchmark economy, the presence of social security might generate support for public Funding of Education, its overall effect on the well-being of individuals is negative for any level of social security taxation.

Public Education reform: Community or national Funding of Education? ☆
Journal of Monetary Economics, 2005Co-Authors: Jorge SoaresAbstract:Abstract I use a political economy model of public Funding of Education to evaluate the welfare implications of a move from a community- to a nation-wide Funding policy. Broadening the scope of Education finance has intragenerational redistribution effects as well as intergenerational effects. Previous studies have emphasized the intragenerational redistribution effects of moving from local to state-financed systems, while holding factor prices fixed. The model in this paper includes a social security system and allows factor prices to vary endogenously. I examine the welfare effects of broadening the scope of financing from a community- to a nation-wide system and find that there are very large welfare gains as voters “internalize” the effect of the Education policy on both factor prices and social security benefits. I also focus on the intergenerational distributional effects, finding that significant welfare gains occur despite the displacement of the median voter to an older agent that cares less about children's well-being.

self interest and public Funding of Education
Journal of Public Economics, 2003Co-Authors: Jorge SoaresAbstract:Abstract The objective of this paper is to study whether publicly funded Education can emerge as a political and economic equilibrium in an overlapping generations economy in which selfish agents vote for public Funding of Education. The presence of complementarities between capital and labor in the production function implies that, by improving the skills of next period’s workers, public Funding of Education increases the return on capital. As a result, savers will support a publicly financed Education system in order to enhance their future income. A version of the model calibrated using U.S. data generates large shares of GNP allocated to Education. Hence the non-altruistic incentive to support public Education is quantitatively important.

Beyond Serrano vs. Priest: National Funding of Education
Computing in Economics and Finance, 1999Co-Authors: Jorge SoaresAbstract:This paper develops a political economy of public Funding of Education to evaluate the welfare implications of a move from a stateUwide Education financing policy to a nationUwide Education financing policy. In a general equilibrium overlapping generations model where parents care about their children's lifetime utility, the rational and forward-looking agents vote for a level of public Funding of Education. In contrast to existing theories, we do not assume factor prices are invariant and the effects of an Education policy on factor prices are important in the determination of the equilibrium level of this policy. While altruism plays a central political role, the complementarity between capital and labor in the production function induces support for a higher level of publicly funded Education, and the equilibrium tax rate is higher when the Educational policy has an impact on the factor prices. Further, with a payUasUyouUgo social security system, increased labor skill level affects the level of benefits received by the retirees and also influences the political choice of the agents. I show that a move from a stateU to a nationUwide decision level, where the impacts of the Educational policy on factor prices and social security benefits are internalized by the voters, can increase the level of income in the economy and the welfare of the agents. Further, the benefits of the general equilibrium effects are bigger in more unequal economies, increasing the benefits of a move to a nation-wide policy decision level. Finally, if the states are heterogeneous, there are also efficiency gains from equating Education expenditures across students. And a move from community- to state-wide public Funding of Education can raise the steadyUstate output and welfare levels. In the first place there are efficiency gains from equating spending per student in the presence of heterogeneity as in Fernandez and Rogerson (1994). In the second place, moving to a stateUwide financing of Education widens the tax base and increases the return to each parent's contribution.

Altruism and Self-Interest in a Political Economy of Public Education
SSRN Electronic Journal, 1998Co-Authors: Jorge SoaresAbstract:The primary objective of this paper is to develop a political economy of public Funding of Education that accounts for the large disparities observed across countries in the share of GNP allocated to public Education. In a general equilibrium overlapping generations model in which parents care about their children's lifetime utility the rational and forward looking agents vote for a level of public Funding of Education. The model mirrors the observed cross-country disparities in the share of GNP allocated to public Funding of Education. This share increases with per capita income levels as well as with the fertility rate, and it decreases with the degree of inequality in the economy. For higher levels of inequality the model can generate a politico-economic equilibrium where private and public investment on Education coexist. In contrast to existing theories the paper does not assume that the factor prices are invariant and I study the importance of the effects of an Education policy on the factor prices in the determination of the equilibrium level of this policy.
