Abstract
► Decentralization in general government spending increases student performance. ► Effects of decentralization do not run through the educational spending channel. ► A generous welfare state creates disincentives to learn. ► We study a cross-country-cross-year comparable panel of student test scores 1980-2000, from TIMSS and PISA.
