Abstract | Using a cross section of countries, this paper empirically examines whether devoting more resources to education can positively affect the distribution of income ... within a country. From the findings public education expenditures appear to be associated with a subsequent decrease in the level of income inequality. This finding is robust to the inclusion of various control variables and appears to be larger in high income nations. The findings suggest that devoting more resources to education may be one way to reduce the level of income inequality within a country. (DIPF/orig.) |
