Based on previous evidence of diminishing earnings returns to greater educational expenditures, the hypothesis that Southern schools and colleges have greater returns than non-Southern schools and colleges is tested but is not accepted. Per pupil expenditures for both school and college, however, significantly raise earnings for Southern male full-time workers. The elasticity of expenditure with respect to the wage for high school graduates is 0.1212 for Southerners and 0.0360 for non-Southerners, and the elasticity for college expenditure is 0.0468 for Southerners and 0.0260 for non-Southerners.
