Berne, Robert; Stiefel, Leanna – Journal of Education Finance, 1983
Differing methodologies and varied conclusions in research about equity trends in school finance make it impossible to assess national status in school finance reform by using existing studies. Evidence suggests, however, that although horizontal equity has not been achieved, the situation improved from 1940 to 1960 and worsened from 1960 to 1977.…

Updated were statistics of an earlier study done by the Education Commission of the States (ECS) in 1980, entitled "The Missouri School Finance Study."

It presents a multiple regression approach to the problem, which allows each goal of school finance to…

Using extensive data from before and after school finance reforms, the author analyzes the reforms' effects on school finance inequities in Michigan and Missouri, for all school districts and for suburban districts.

Recent analyses of the fiscal impact of New Jersey's Public School Education Act of 1975 have demonstrated that the manner in which education revenues are raised and distributed continues to favor wealthier school districts. While many people believe that most state aid to education funds were allocated to major cities, including Newark, the…
