Notes: Dependent variable: PISA math test score. Expenditure per student = cumulative expenditure on educational institutions per student between age 6 and 15,
measured in 1,000 US dollars, converted by purchasing power parities. Sample: all = all OECD countries with available data; exp>S25,000 = countries with cumulative
expenditure per student above $25,000. FD = fist differences, 2006-2000. FE = fixed effects, pooling all three PISA tests, model contains time dummies (A2 of FE model
refers to within/?2), /-statistics in parentheses.
