Abstract

Previous studies have shown a link between local public school quality and labour productivity, which in turn affects economic growth in a region. But previous work has not investigated whether education is produced differently in different regions. The current study finds that although the production of education is similar across regions, there are some differences. Teacher experience matters more for school quality in rural areas than in urban areas, for example. And there are some differences in the effectiveness of various school inputs across urban areas. Policy implications for centralized versus decentralized school input hiring are discussed. Des études antérieures ont démontré qu'il existe un lien entre la qualitédes écoles sous la tutelle de l'administration locale et la productivité du travail, ce qui a un impact sur la croissance économique régionale. Toujours est-il que les études antérieures n'ont pas examiné si, oui ou non, la production de l'éducation se fait de façon différente sur le plan régional. A partir de cette étude, il s'avère des écarts, bien que la production de l'éducation soit similaire à travers les régions. Par exemple, les compétences des enseignants a plus d'importance pour ce qui est de la qualité de l'école en milieu rural qu'en zone urbaine. En plus, certaines différences de l'efficacité de divers facteurs de production sont à noter à travers les zones urbaines. On discute des implications d'une politique d'embauche ou centralisée, ou décentralisée. Frühere Studien haben gezeigt, daß eine Verbindung zwischen Arbeitsleistung und der Qualität öffentlicher Schule am Orte besteht, wobei erstere sich wiederum auf das Wirtschaftswachstum der Region auswirkt. Doch diese früheren Arbeiten haben nicht untersucht, ob Schulbildung in den verschiedenen Regionen unterschiedlich gefördert wird. Die vorliegende Studie stellt fest, daß es gewisse Unterschiede gibt, obschon die Förderung der Schulbildung sich in allen Regionen als ähnlich erweist. In ländlichen Gegenden, z.B. wird Lehrerfahrung mehr Bedeutung beigemessen als in städtischen Gebieten. Und es gibt durchaus Unterschiede in der Effektivität verschiedenartiger Anstrengungen in Schulen städtischer Gebiete. Es werden Implikationen der Schulpolitik für zentral gesteuerten, im Gegensatz zu dezentralisiertem Aufwand bei Schulanstellungen diskutiert.
