Item Restricted How does corruption, income and government spending affect tertiary enrollment?(2010-03) Alberto, Edeline O.; Desierto, DesireeThis paper uses cross-sectional data for 70 countries to examine the effect of public spending on different levels of education and the effect of income and corruption on the tertiary enrollment. The results of the regressions showed that income and government spending on basic education have a positive effect on tertiary enrollment. Government spending in tertiary education has a greater effect in increasing enrollment in countries with low level of corruption than in countries with higher level of corruption. Also, increasing tertiary enrollment through government spending in tertiary education is more effective in countries with lower income that those with higher income.
