Schooling Outcomes

This study examines the effect of government educational spending and macroeconomic uncertainty on schooling outcomes in Nigeria using the econometric methods of cointegration and error correction mechanism together with the vector autoregression methodology. The results indicate that schooling outcome cointegrated with all the identified explanatory variables. The study found that public educational spending impacts positively on schooling outcome while macroeconomic instability impacts negatively. The variance decomposition analysis shows that “own shocks” constitute the predominant source of variation in schooling outcome. The impulse response analysis shows that any unanticipated increase in the macroeconomic uncertainty rate will have a contractionary impact on literacy rate. The policy implication of this study is that government should pay attention to policies that enhance educational attainment through adequate public social investment under stable macroeconomic environment.

Negative Shock

We investigate the influence of the rapidly developing mobile banking service "mobile money" on rural households' capacity to smooth their investment in education following a negative shock. We find that a negative shock reduces per school-age kid educational spending by 9.3 percentage points in families that do not utilize mobile money but by 8.3 percentage points in homes that have used mobile money. The underlying process is a rise in remittance receipts and sender variety as a result of the lower transaction costs afforded by mobile money. We demonstrate that our findings are resistant to alternative processes. We utilize the extension of the mobile money agent network as an exogenous variable in mobile money access.

Education And Development

AbstractThe Korean learning pattern during the developmental period is typified by high levels of individual educational achievements despite extreme poverty in society. At the moment, the Korean proportion of private educational spending to GDP is the largest among OECD countries. I argue that the ongoing Korean educational frenzy is a result of a traditional subculture that emphasizes social success through education and individual educational choices, made by parents on behalf of their children based on psychological mechanisms of fear and han (or emotional enmity). The benefit of education in terms of economic development and political democracy continues to reinforce parents to be obsessive about children’s education even during the post-developmental stage. Yet, it is now obvious to Korean policymakers and parents alike that educational obsession is hampering both democracy and economic development.
