Local Public Choice of School Spending: Disaggregating the Demand Function for Educational Services.

Falch, Torberg; Rattso, Jorn

Economics of Education Review, v18 n3 p361-73 Jun 1999

Investigates school spending in Norway, using a disaggregated demand model augmented to include political factors. Disaggregates county governments' high-school spending to identify sources of variation in student/teacher ratio, nonwage spending per student, and student enrollment. Political strength holds down (construction) costs and allows for more student enrollment. (25 references) (MLH)
