Riassunto
In this work, the determinants of public expenditure on education are investigated for the 27 European Union countries. After having derived a demand model of the public expenditure structure from an extended version of the median voter model, I estimate the demand equations system on data from the COFOG-Eurostat dataset. The empirical results suggest that public expenditure on education is found to be influenced not only by economic determinants (relative prices), but also by institutional factors.
