截至20世纪90年代末，美国的公共教育支出约占GDP的7.1%；其中约 60% 的支持用于 K-12 教育，其余用于大学教育。我们在一个理论模型中研究了这种支出对福利和产出的影响，在该模型中，具有不同先天能力的人选择是否接受高等教育。能力较高的代理人可以支持 K-12 和大学级别的更多支出。当公共教育支出较低时，所有代理人都倾向于将支出仅用于 K-12 教育；当支出很高时，所有人都倾向于将部分支出分配给大学教育。
As of the late 1990s, public spending on education in the US comprised approximately 7.1% of GDP; about 60% of that support was directed at K-12 education and the remainder at college education. We investigate the welfare and output implications of this spending in a theoretical model in which agents of differential innate ability choose whether to pursue higher education. Higher ability agents support greater expenditures at both the K-12 and college levels. When public education expenditures are low, all agents prefer that spending be directed solely to K-12 education; when expenditures are high, all prefer that some spending be allocated to college education.
