Public spending on education: Its impact on students skipping classes and completing school

Eiji Yamamura

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Empirical results using cross-country data suggest that public spending on education increases the rate of students skipping school but does not influence the rate of students completing school. This infers that public spending on education leads to a deterioration in the effectiveness of education.
