Taking the Argentine provinces as the analytical unit and using the models developed for cross-national comparisons, this article formulates an empirical model to measure the effect of socioeconomic conditions on school expansion based on the diffusion model proposed by John W. Meyer, Francisco Ramirez, Richard Rubinson, and John Boli-Bennett, "The World Educational Revolution, 1950-70," in National Development and the World System, ed. J. Meyer and M. Hannan (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1979), pp. 37-55; and John W. Meyer, Francisco Ramirez, and Yasemin N.
