Abstract
In 1980, seven out of the seventeen Spanish regions were devolved education
spending responsibility. Using a difference-in-differences approach, which I show
to be particularly credible in this context, I evaluate the long term effect of
this reform on human capital. I find no robust evidence to corroborate the
theoretically predicted benefits of decentralization.
