Predicting School Referenda Outcomes: Answers from Illinois.

Lentz, Corliss

Journal of Education Finance, v24 n4 p459-82 Spr 1999

Uses ordinary least-squares multivariate regression analysis to determine if jurisdictional types vary in their willingness to increase taxation for schools, employing 892 education fund referenda conducted in Illinois from 1981 to 1989. Outcomes do differ by jurisdiction type. The strongest predictor is willingness to pay for higher taxes. (29 references) (MLH)
