Abstract: This paper examines the effect of natural resource endowment on the efficiency of public spending on primary education in resource-rich developing countries. The order-m non-parametric technique is used for this purpose on a sample of 138 developing countries covering the period 1995-2018. The results reveal that the endowment of natural resources and the low efficiency of a State reduce the efficiency of public spending on primary education.

Keywords: Education; public spending on primary education; fragility; efficiency; natural resources; non-parametric approach; resource-rich countries. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
