Abstract

Anecdotal evidence from rural Pakistan suggests that large landlords are opposed to education since it could cause attitudinal changes that challenge the existing order or cause the emigration of potential labor to towns and cities. Combining a political economic perspective with the human capital demand and supply for schooling model, we use a simultaneous limited dependent variable model to investigate the impact of relative and absolute landed power on the demand for schooling. Our findings show that large landlords have an adverse impact on village educational attainment.
