Ladd, Helen F.; Murray, Sheila E.

Examines older adults' support for K-12 education, using a national panel of counties over time. The elderly do have the potential to affect educational spending indirectly through where they live. Support for education spending may depend on how the elderly are distributed relative to children among counties. (Contains 15 references.) (MLH)
