| Summary: | This paper presents a methodology to
explore the impact on poverty of the
public spending on education. The
methodology consists of two approaches:
Benefit Incidence Analysis
(BIA) and behavioral approach. BIA
considers the cost and use of the educational
service, and the distribution
of the benefits among groups of income.
Regarding the behavioral approach,
we use a Probit model of
schooling attendance, in order to determine
the influence of public
spending on the probability for the
poor to attend the school. As a complement,
a measurement of targeting
errors in the allocation of public
spending is included in the methodology. |
