Abstract	It is analyzed how a central government allocates resources to states in the education sector. In particular, two relevant criteria in the decision-making process are used: the equity-efficiency trade-off and unequal concern with respect to the characteristics of the states. The authors performed empirical tests of Mexican state-level education expenditure by the Federal Government and examined changes in allocation patterns by comparing 1980 and 1990 cross sections. A two-sector model is considered in a welfare maximizing context, which allows for a theoretical as well as econometric solution for jointly determined educational expenditure and production. ... [It was found] that the Federal Government trades some efficiency for gains in equity, but in doing so treats states differently, and that results have changed over time. (DIPF/orig.)
