Abstract

The article considers the factors of differentiation of social return rates of education in Russia. The aim is the identification of the impact of urbanization on the value of social return rates of education. The existence of excessive social return rates of education in metropolitan cities and regions with million cities is established on the basis of macroeconomic dimensional analysis using the official Russian statistical data. It appears that this fact is connected with «plashing» or «diffusion» of knowledge in major cities and externalities of education. It may be concluded that education expenditures provide the biggest social return in major cities and thickly settled regions.
