The Intrastate Equality of Public Primary and Secondary Education Resources in the U.S., 1980-1987.

Wyckoff, James H.

Economics of Education Review, v11 n1 p19-30 1992

Examines intrastate equality in educational resource allocation from 1980 to 1987, using school district data on instructional expenditures per student to calculate Gini and Theil coefficients of variation for 1980 and 1987 and make appropriate comparisons. A majority of states have a more equal distribution of instructional expenditures in 1987 than in 1980. (24 references) (MLH)
