苏格兰的人均公共支出比英格兰高得多，但很少有人对苏格兰和英格兰的需求进行比较。我们比较他们对学校教育的需求，我们表明，如果公式支出份额的方法，用于估计英格兰地方当局的需求在苏格兰应用，那么苏格兰将被发现需要约3%以上的每个学生比英格兰，但是，这种英语的方法可能会稍微低估苏格兰的需求。我们还表明，赠款援助支出的方法，实际上是用来估计苏格兰地方当局的需求可能比英国的方法约7%更慷慨。最后，我们发现，相对教育需求的不同当局之间的相关性评估的苏格兰方法和他们的相对需求评估的英语方法是适度的，这意味着可能有严重的缺点，至少有一种方法。
Scotland has much higher public expenditure per head than England, but little work has been done to compare Scottish and English needs. We compare their needs for school education, and we show that if the Formula Spending Share approach that is used to estimate English local authorities’ needs were applied in Scotland, then Scotland would be found to need about 3 per cent more per pupil than England; however, this English approach may slightly underestimate Scotland’s needs. We also show that the Grant Aided Expenditure approach that is actually used to estimate Scottish local authorities’ needs may be about 7 per cent more generous than the English approach. Finally, we find that the correlation between the relative education needs for different authorities as assessed by the Scottish approach and their relative needs as assessed by the English approach is only modest; this implies that there may be serious shortcomings in at least one approach.
