本文在一个包含义务教育和基础设施溢出的简单内生增长模型中研究了教育质量对公共支出最优配置的影响。教育质量与学校拥挤程度成反比，而学校拥挤程度本身是以两种方式衡量的：教师和学生在人口中的比例，以及政府教育支出与教学能力的比例。平衡增长的路径推导和过渡动态与拥塞程度的增加进行了分析。增长最大化份额的政府教育支出的拥塞参数负相关。政策影响的“数量与质量”的辩论在学校教育进行了讨论。
This paper studies the implications of education quality for the optimal allocation of public expenditure in a simple endogenous growth model with mandatory schooling and infrastructure spillovers. Education quality is inversely related to the degree of congestion in schools, which is itself measured in two ways: the proportions of teachers and students in the population, and the ratio of government spending on education to teaching capacity. The balanced-growth path is derived and the transitional dynamics associated with an increase in the degree of congestion are analysed. The growth-maximizing share of government spending on education is shown to depend negatively on the congestion parameter. Policy implications for the 'quantity versus quality' debate in schooling are also discussed.
