Tax Capacity, Tax Effort, and State Funding of Schools in Ohio.

Cohen, Matthew C.

Journal of Education Finance, v9 n2 p141-56 Fall 1983

An analysis of the relationship between district wealth and tax effort concludes that, while state aid is generally equalizing, the school funding structure is a dual system in which state aid is almost randomly spent in outlier districts. It is inferred that outliers translate guaranteed state aid into lower local taxes. (MJL)
