Intergenerational Conflict in Education Financing: Evidence from A Decade of Bond Referenda Boston College I examine how population aging affects voter support for and the efficiency of public education provision. Analyzing a decade of school bond referendum data, I find that school districts with older populations are less likely to approve bond proposals to finance school investments. I leverage variations in historical birth rates to show that aging-in-place, rather than endogenous sorting, drives this effect. Comparing narrowly passed and failed referenda, I find that house prices do not appreciate after bond approvals in older-population districts, despite increased spending. These results align with generational divisions over education investment but do not indicate inefficiency.
