Economic Models to Explain School Board Expenditures in Ontario.

Lawton, Stephen B.

Journal of Education Finance, v11 n2 p236-57 Fall 1985

Explains variations in per pupil expenditures among school boards in Ontario, Canada, using the "median voter model," which compares consumer behavior with government funding actions. With an inequitable tax price an important policy variable, the school grant program needs redesigning to achieve equity without sacrificing efficiency. Includes 21 references. (MLH)
