Abstract

An average total cost function for 53 selected public school districts in Eastern Nebraska over the time period 1981–84 is estimated. A quality of educational services index is developed and used to account for quality differences between school districts over time. Using a covariance model to pool time series and cross-sectional data, significant economies of size were found. The empirical findings also are discussed in regard to the issue of school consolidation.
