Abstract
In this paper we show that an increase in the ratio of educational sub sidies to income financed by flat-rate consumption and income taxes en hances economic growth, and has no net effect on fertility with logari thmic preferences. Using data from 69 countries, a cross-section analy sis indicates that these theoretical results are consistent with empir ical evidence. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
