Linear relationship between spending and country wealth for 31 OECD countries reporting data (elementary/secondary): r2 = .84; slope = .27; intercept = -992. NOTE: Luxembourg data are excluded because of anomalies with respect to their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita data. (Large revenues from international Finance institutions distort the wealth of the population.)
