GINI DP 43: Educational Selectivity and Preferences about Education Spending

Daniel Horn

GINI Discussion Papers from AIAS, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies

Abstract: This paper argues that preferences for educational redistribution are not driven by income but by the level of education. While income and preferences for educational redistribution follow the conventional story – rich want less spending –, the level of education associates positively with spending on education, which effect is altered by the selectivity of the education system. Highly educated citizens are relatively more likely to support government spending on education in countries where the system is selective compared to highly educated people’s preferences in countries with comprehensive systems.
