Ítem Economic efficiency of public secondary education expenditure: how different are developed and developing countries?(Universidad EAFIT, 2017-12-14) Arias Ciro, Juliana; Torres García, Alejandro; julianaarias03@gmail.com; atorres7@eafit.edu.coThis study measures the efficiency of public secondary education expenditure in 35 developing and developed countries using a two-step semi-parametric DEA (data envelopment analysis) methodology. First, we implement two cross-country frontier models for the 2009-2012 period: one using a physical input (i.e., teacher-pupil ratio) and one using a monetary input (i.e., government expenditure per secondary student). These results are corrected by the effects of GDP per capita and adult educational attainment as non-discretionary inputs. We obtain four important results: (i) developed and developing countries have the same education production processes when they are compared using physical inputs but not when compared using monetary inputs; (ii) developing countries could increase their enrollment rates and PISA scores by approximately 9% and 5%, respectively, by maintaining the same teacher-pupil ratios and public spending levels as developed countries; (iii) Ireland, Japan and Korea are efficient countries in the two frontier models (Colombia is also included in this category when the teacher-pupil ratio is used as input); and (iv) robust empirical evidence indicates that both income and parental educational attainment positively affect the efficiency of public education in both models.Ítem The impact of educational expenditures of government on economic growth of Iran(Universidad EAFIT, 2017-02-28) Jeyhoon Tabar, Fozieh; Najafi, Zahra; Sistani Badooei, Yaser
