%0 Journal Article %T Education financing and growth using an overlapping generations model: A theoretical perspective %A Ayed Zambaa Alleiddine %A Ben Hassen Lobna %J Economic Annals %D 2013 %I Faculty of Economics, Belgrade %R 10.2298/eka1397007z %X This paper proposes an overlapping generations model along the lines of the papers by Glomm and Ravikumar (1997). Its aim is to provide a theoretical extension in which we establish, in an original framework, a comparison of public and private educational financing systems in terms of economic growth. The results provide a critique of the literature that suggests that private expenditure will inevitably lead to greater economic growth than a policy of public education. %K Educational finance %K economic growth %K overlapping generations %U http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/0013-3264/2013/0013-32641397007A.pdf
