Global dynamics of Gini coefficients of education for 146 countries updated to 1950-2015

Thomas Ziesemer #2021-047 PDF

We update the Gini coefficients of education to include the year 2015,
added to the Barro-Lee data set recently. A panel analysis shows that
every five years education inequality falls by 2.8 percentage points. A
stable average value is predicted to be 0.22. Kernel densities loose
their twin peaks when going from 1955 to later years.
