Public Education provision, private schooling and income redistribution
The Journal of Economic Inequality, 2018Co-Authors: Francesco Andreoli, Giorgia Casalone, Daniela SoneddaAbstract:Availability of free Public Education induces a transfer in kind among households with school age children. We provide evidence of the redistributive character of Public Education provision. We estimate structural quantile treatment effects of household income on the distribution of expected Educational transfers in kind. Under the assumption that Education quality is a normal good, better services (ancillary to the core Education mission) supplied by private schools increase quality therein and reduce the incentives for wealthy households to enroll in Public Education. Because of these incentives, rich families benefit less from Educational transfers in kind and the Public Education system is redistributive. Using household survey data from Italy, we find that an increase in net income reduces the value of the expected Educational in kind transfers for compulsory Education.

Public Education expenditures taxation and growth linking data to theory
The American Economic Review, 2007Co-Authors: William Blankenau, Nicole B. Simpson, Marc TomljanovichAbstract:Governments around the world have taken a prominent role in financing Education. While justifications for this involvement are varied, a common motivation is that Education expenditures are a key to sustained economic growth. Economic theory provides a foundation for this belief. Many papers in the endogenous growth literature have formalized a link between Public Education expenditures, human capital accumulation, and long-term growth. While theory assigns Public Education expenditures a key role in growth, empirical support for the link is mixed. As highlighted by Blankenau and Simpson ( 004), the disconnect between theory and data can be reconciled by taking a closer look at the theory. In nearly every model where growth is fueled by Public Education expenditures, a nonmonotonic relationship between expenditures and growth can arise. Public Education spending increases growth while taxes may decrease growth, leaving the net effect ambiguous. Thus, economic theory shows that to identify the growth effects of expenditures, one must account for any offsetting effects of the requisite taxation. Most empirical investigations of these effects do not explicitly control for the method of finance, however. In contrast, we make the relationship between expenditures, taxation, and growth central to our analysis. We estimate a

Public Education expenditures and growth
Journal of Development Economics, 2004Co-Authors: William Blankenau, Nicole B. SimpsonAbstract:Abstract Empirical evidence is mixed concerning the effects of Public Education expenditures on economic growth. We explore this expenditure–growth relationship in the context of an endogenous growth model in which private and Public investment are inputs to human capital accumulation. The positive direct effect of Public Education spending on growth can be diminished or even negated when other determinants of growth are negatively affected by general equilibrium adjustments. We show that the response of growth to Public Education expenditures may be nonmonotonic over the relevant range. The relationship depends on the level of government spending, the tax structure and the parameters of production technologies.
