contents THE EFFECTS OF REGIONAL EDUCATIONAL POLICIES ON SCHOOL FAILURE IN SPAIN TONI MORA JOSEP-ORIOL ESCARDÍBUL MARTA ESPASA Economía y Finanzas School failure school dropout regional educational policy This paper presents a regional analysis of the effects of educational policies implemented in Spain between 1992 and 2003, focusing specifically on school failure rates. We consider the impact of expenditure per pupil, class size, and pupil-teacher ratio on dropout rates at the end of compulsory education and on the proportion of early school-leavers in the 18-24 year age group. Our results indicate that higher levels of educational expenditure per pupil and lower class sizes and pupil-teacher ratios reduce rates of dropout and early school-leaving (although class-size is not always significant). However, the magnitude of the effects of these variables is small at the average level. 2010 artículo científico 1133-455X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=96915832004 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=969 Revista de Economía Aplicada application/pdf Universidad de Zaragoza Revista de Economía Aplicada (España) Num.54 Vol.XVIII
