The Equality of Distribution of Education Resources—The Case of 96 Universities in the US

Abstract

This study uses Gini coefficient and the different decomposition of Gini coef- ficient to investigate the equality of distribution of human capital and en- dowment. The result shows that neither the amount of endowment nor the number of teachers indeed causes a great deal of inequality in different schools. The contribution from full-time teachers is more than the contribu- tion from the part-time teachers to the inequal distribution of teachers. For the inequal distribution of endowment, the contribution from the between- group is greater than the contribution from with-group. Keywords
