Abstract

This paper provides some of the first evidence on the relationship between Head Start funding expansions and program inputs. We take advantage of the county–year variation in funding increases that were implemented due to a number of legislated policy changes in the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s. By focusing on the period between 1988 and 2007, we show that the funding increases were directed at increasing total and full-time enrollment. We also show that the funding expansions were used to make several quality-related investments, including increasing the number of teachers and staff and upgrading the skill level of teachers.

先导性启动资金的扩大和项目投入

本文提供了一些关于先导性启动资金扩展与项目投入之间关系的初步证据。由于1980年代末和整个1990年代的一些立法政策变化，我们利用了县年度资金增加的变化。通过关注1988年至2007年这段时间，我们发现资金增加的目的是增加总入学率和全日制入学率。我们还表明，扩大的资金用于若干与质量有关的投资，包括增加教师和工作人员的数量以及提高教师的技能水平。

期刊介绍： Public Finance Review is a professional forum devoted to US policy-oriented economic research and theory, which focuses on a variety of allocation, distribution and stabilization functions within the public-sector economy. Economists, policy makers, political scientists, and researchers all rely on Public Finance Review, to bring them the most up-to-date information on the ever changing US public finance system, and to help them put policies and research into action. Public Finance Review not only presents rigorous empirical and theoretical papers on public economic policies, but also examines and critiques their impact and consequences. The journal analyzes the nature and function of evolving US governmental fiscal policies at the national, state and local levels.
