Is Education Prejudiced by Country‐Risk?

Abstract: We consider country‐risk as a determinant of education growth in a panel of countries. Applying cross‐country dynamic panel data estimations, we show that among the different levels of education, the secondary is the most affected, followed by the tertiary. When different single measures of risk are considered one by one, the tertiary education is affected by more types of risk than any other level of education. This contributes to the literature on the educational production function, as it adds a robust determinant of that function and indicates that politicians should endeavour to decrease country‐risk to enhance education.
