Is Corruption Really Bad for Inequality? Evidence from Latin America (2011, background): “The coefficients on primary reflect the widely accepted view that a rise in primary school education serves to reduce income inequality (e.g., Tinbergen, 1975; Sylwester, 2002; Chu, 2000).”
On the counterfactual problem of welfare state research: How can we measure redistribution? (2005, background): “This is a strong indication that the effect found by Sylwester (2002) is likely to come from primary education rather than tertiary education, and that primary education is one of the channels through which policy can effect inequality.”
Does government ideology influence budget composition? Empirical evidence from OECD countries (2010, background): “…with the consequence that leftist parties will focus on this policy field to gratify their original constituencies and, for example, try to reduce income inequality (on distributional effects of public education expenditures see, for example, Sylwester 2002 and Tsakloglou and Antoninis 1999).”
