教育补贴经常被认为是改变收入分配的一种方法。因此，将教育与其他旨在实现分配目标的税收转移计划进行比较是很自然的。虽然公平与效率的权衡经常被讨论，但很少被明确对待。本文建立了一个学校出勤率、劳动力供给、工资决定和总生产的一般均衡模型，用来比较不同的再分配方式在自重损失和分配结果方面的差异。工资补贴通常在经济的一系列基本参数中占据主导地位。两者通常都比负所得税更好。然而，在生产中存在外部性的情况下，政府教育补贴的作用是明确的，因为它既提高了GDP，又创造了更平等的收入分配。
Educational subsidies are frequently justified as a method of altering the income distribution. It is thus natural to compare education to other tax-transfer schemes designed to achieve distributional objectives. While equity-efficiency trade-offs are frequently discussed, they are rarely explicitly treated. This paper creates a general equilibrium model of school attendance, labor supply, wage determination, and aggregate production, which is used to compare alternative redistribution devices in terms of both deadweight loss and distributional outcomes. A wage subsidy generally dominates tuition subsidies across a wide range of fundamental parameters for the economy. Both are generally superior to a negative income tax. With externalities in production, however, there is an unambiguous role for governmental subsidy of education, because it both raises GDP and creates a more equal income distribution.
