A data set

A school expenditure data set


This cross-section data set is reproduced from Greene [1993, Table 14.1, p. 385]. The data was compiled by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Statistical Abstract of the United States, 1979.

The variables in the data set are:

  1. State identifier
  2. Per capita expenditure on public schools in 1979
  3. Per capita income in 1979

The data set (filename: GREENE.txt) follows. Note that expenditure data is missing for Wisconsin and so this is assigned a missing value code of -99.
