Abstract

We analyze expenditures on vocational schools on county level using data from 193 West-German counties between 2001 and 2006. These expenditures represent the main public input to the widely acknowledged German apprenticeship system by local governments. We use spatial econometrics to test for spatial correlation in counties’ expenditure on vocational schools but find no evidence that vocational schools serve as instrument in inter-regional competition. This conclusion receives further support by an alternative test, in which we compare the teacher-to-pupil ratio of counties on the state border and interior counties. The test does not give any indication that the teacher-to-pupil-ratio is higher in counties located at the state border.

Fußnoten
1
Additionally, there are some (minor) types of vocational schools which only exists in some German states, e.g. Fachakademien in Bavaria. They are comparable to Fachschulen. Vocational students without apprenticeship are included in the Berufsschüler but we control for their share (see data section).
 
2
Our dataset is a combination of three data sources: Budgetary data from the Federal Statistical Office, the so called Genesis data on counties’ characteristics, also provided by the Federal Statistical Office, as well as data on the share of employees and apprentices by firm size—provided by the statistics department of the Federal Employment Office.
 
3
We use the user-written stata command gs2sls (see Shebata 2012).
 
4
This test is used account for institutional inertia in public spendings. It is important to note that the time period of only 5 years is very short and thus dynamic panel estimators do not yield reliable estimates.
 
5
The data is provided by the State Bureaus of Statistics. Data is not available for Baden-Württemberg and Saarland. Data on the share of full-time employed teachers is only provided for some states and time periods.
