Abstract

This paper shows that public spending on basic services, to wit, primary and secondary education and basic health care benefit the poor; while the non‐poor are the principal beneficiaries of tertiary and education subsidies and hospital spending. The evidence also shows that expenditures on infrastructure spending in the Caribbean benefit the non‐poor disproportionately more than the poor. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
