They present a theoretical model to analyze this hypothesis. The authors discuss several variations of the capitation formula, and present an analysis of the characteristics of the winners, and losers of their application, using Mexico as an illustration. 2014-04-10T20:49:13Z 2014-04-10T20:49:13Z 2003-12 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2003/12/2813093/use-transparent-formulae-allocate-federal-education-transfers http://hdl.handle.net/10986/17741 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 3171 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research Latin America & Caribbean Mexico
