Social status, values, and support for reform in education
Using a survey of Ohio and Indiana residents, we analyze the extent to which public support for school vouchers and school finance reform is structured by the same socioeconomic interests and values (equality, humanitarianism, individualism, and limited government) as is public support for contentious welfare policies. Disadvantaged individuals and individuals who live in disadvantaged communities are more likely to support vouchers but social st…

Leveraging the State
This study analyses African Americans' success in getting the state to improve access to a basic social right-the right to a public education-in the late nineteenth-and early twentieth-century South. During this period, Southern blacks were deprived of the right to vote and many of their civil rights. We find that the loss of political and civil rights influenced the means that blacks could use to affect policy, and it limited the policy objectiv…
Citizenship and Public Schools
Building on the arguments that public education is a state-provided good and that citizenship rights affect groups' access to state-provided goods, the authors ask whether an abrupt transformation of U. S. citizenship rights-the disfranchisement of Blacks and many poor Whites in the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century South-affected the distribution of public educational opportunities and enrollments. Using county-level data for six sout…

The Family Economy, Child Labor, and Schooling
We explore the determinants of employment and school enrollment among black children and white children in North Carolina and South Carolina in 1910. Our analysis situates decisions about children's employment and schooling in the context of the family, the local labor market, and the local educational system. Family resources were an important determinant of children's employment, especially for white children, but labor-market opportunities wer…
Schooling for Some
Data from North Carolina and South Carolina in 1910 indicate that racially segregated labor markets and racially unequal school systems affected school enrollment of black children and white children. The textile industry relied heavily on employment of white children, whereas the wood industry relied heavily on black adults, but employedfew children of either race. Local governments provided inferior schooling opportunities for blacks. Results i…

Schooling or Working? Public Education, Racial Politics, and the Organization of Production in 1910

The Family Economy, Work, and Educational Participation in the United States, 1890-1940
Previous studies have found that rural areas experienced substantial growth in public school enrollments around the turn of the century. Is this finding based on a narrow definition of schooling patterns? The analysis of state-level patterns for 1890-1940 shows that urban industrialism, religion, and race had varying effects across different dimensions of schooling, including public enrollment and attendance rates, and enrollments in private vers…
Sex and Institutional Differences in Labor Market Effects on the Expansion of Higher Education, 1952 to 1980
This paper compares labor market effects on the expansion of higher education after World War IIfor men and women in twoand four-year institutions. The paper shows that across all groups, professional-technical employment had a positive effect on enrollment expansion. Contrary to the hypothesis that students in two-year schools provide a better surplus labor pool than students in four-year schools, Ifoundfew significant differences in the predict…

Occupational and Labor Market Effects on Secondary and Postsecondary Educational Expansion in the United States
School enrollments in the United States have grown rapidly in this century, yet we have few convincing explanations of this phenomenon. In this paper, attempts are made to relate the rate of growth of public secondary and tertiary school enrollments to changes in occupational opportunities. Models of public secondary expansion are estimated for two periods, 1922 to 1951 and 1952 to 1979, but models of tertiary enrollment expansion could be estima…
Educational Expansion and Economic Output in the United States, 1890-1969
Our research analyzes the effect of educational expansion on economic output in the United States from 1890 to 1969. In a departure from the individual-level inferences often used in prior research, we use an aggregate production function framework to estimate directly educational effects on economic output, net of labor and capital, the two basic factors of production. Using aggregate, time-series analyses, we find that expansion at the secondar…
