“…Magnitude of the coefficient of primary schooling tells us that a unit increase in average years of primary education completed increases income inequality by 0.417 percentage points and the estimated coefficient is found to be statistically significant at 1%. The result is comparable with previous findings by Barro (2000), Alderson and Nielson (2002), Sylwester (2003), Wells (2006), Mughal and Diawara (2011) and Checchi (2003). Summing up, in general, increase in average years for completing primary education has a positive impact on income inequality.…”

This paper analyzes the impact of health and education on income inequality in selected developing countries. This study uses panel data for 31 developing countries from 1996 to 2015. We estimated the coefficients by employing the System Generalized Method of Moments (System-GMM) technique due to endogeneity problem. We conclude that education and health significantly contribute to decrease income inequality .

“…Contrary to them, Mughal and Diawara (2011) investigated the relationship between human capital and economic inequality in the developing countries and found that primary, secondary and tertiary level education is negatively associated with inequality. Wells (2006) has shown that the effects of education on income inequality are affected by the level of economic freedom in a country, and, specifically, that more economic liberalisation may limit the equalising effects of secondary enrolments. Rehme (2007) has found that education simultaneously affects growth and income inequality and that increases in education first increase and then decrease growth, as well as income inequality, when measured by the Gini coefficient.…”

Despite increasing income per capita, the EU candidate and potential candidate countries remain confronted with high levels of income inequality. The purpose of our paper is to identify the main determinants of income inequality among the EU candidate countries. In addition to macroeconomic factors, we also analyze the impact of demographic variables to provide more reliable estimates. Using panel data analysis with fixed effects in the period 2005-2017 for three EU candidate countries (North Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey) we find that the unemployment rate, the level of economic development and the investment rate are the main determinants whose increase leads to a bigger income differentiation in the analyzed countries. The government indebtedness has also a statistically significant, but a negative impact on income inequality. The other two macroeconomic variables in the model – the terms of trade and inflation are statistically insignificant. Among the demographic factors, population growth and education significantly affect income inequality among the EU candidate countries. The obtained results suggest that a sustainable economic growth combined with active measures in the labor market and the improvement of education level of the population could lead to more equal income distribution.

Higher education budget allocations affect educational performance, and it also can improve human capital to boost the economic growth of a nation. Concerning this, the present study was implemented to find out the extent of educational performance effect towards the economic growth, and what variables are the most influential determinants to boost economic growth in Indonesia related to educational sector. Fixed effect approach through data panel was used to analyze the secondary data obtained from 34 provinces in Indonesia from 2014 to 2016. The result showed that educational performance in each province in Indonesia measured by using the pure participation rate of junior high school students and high school graduates and higher education graduates were able to increase the economic growth with the assumption that their skills were sufficient to increase productivity, whereas, crude participation rate of junior high school, senior high school graduates, and higher education graduates can be an obstacle to economic development. Also, the determinant factor to boost economic growth was public spending on education sector. Keywords: funding, education performance, economic growthAnalisis Pembiayaan, Kinerja Pendidikan, dan Pertumbuhan Ekonomi di IndonesiaAbstrak: Alokasi anggaran pendidikan yang makin besar memberikan efek terhadap kinerja pendidikan sekaligus memperbaiki mutu manusia yang dapat mendorong laju pertumbuhan ekonomi. Dalam kaitannya dengan hal tersebut studi ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk melihat seberapa besar pengaruh kinerja pendidikan terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi dan variabel apa saja yang memiliki determinasi paling kuat mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi di Indonesia yang terkait dengan sektor pendidikan. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah panel data melalui pendekatan fixed effect, dengan menggunakan data sekunder untuk 34 provinsi di Indonesia selama periode 2014 – 2016. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kinerja pendidikan setiap provinsi di Indonesia yang diukur dari APM SLTP dan tamatan SLTA dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan ekonomi dengan asumsi bahwa keterampilan mereka cukup memadai untuk meningkatkan produktivitas, sementara APK SLTP, lulusan SLTP dan lulusan perguruan tinggi dapat mengganggu pertumbuhan ekonomi. Sedangkan faktor determinan mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi adalah variabel belanja publik sektor pendidikan. Kata Kunci: pembiayaan, kinerja pendidikan, pertumbuhan ekonomi
