Short-Term Redistributive Effects of Public Financing of University Education in Quebec

Clement Lemelin ()

Canadian Public Policy, 1992, vol. 18, issue 2, 176-188

Abstract: Redistributive effects of public financing of university education in Quebec in 1984 are analyzed. Families are grouped by education level of head of family; redistributive effects are assumed to take place within families which are likely to have a child in university during the period of the survey. Benefits are represented by the cost of three forms of public intervention: public subsidies to universities, student aid, and tax expenditure. The total value of public intervention is positively correlated with socio-economic status. The author is unable to reject the hypothesis of regressivity.
