Costs and Productivity in American Colleges and Universities --References --Author Index --Subject IndexThe last two decades have been a turbulent period for American higher education, with profound demographic shifts, gyrating salaries, and marked changes in the economy. While enrollments rose about 50% in that period, sharp increases in tuition and fees at colleges and universities provoke accusations of inefficiency, even outright institutional greed and irresponsibility. As the 1990's progress, surpluses in the academic labor supply may give way to shortages in many fields, but will there be enough new Ph.D.'s to go around? Drawing on the authors' experience as economists and educators, this book offers an accessible analysis of three crucial economic issues: the growth and composition of undergraduate enrollments, the supply of faculty in the academic labor market, and the cost of operating colleges and universities. The study provides valuable insights for administrators and scholars of education.National Bureau of Economic Research monograph.Education, HigherEconomic aspectsUnited StatesEducation, HigherUnited StatesStatisticsCollege attendanceUnited StatesCollege teachersSupply and demandUnited StatesCollege costsUnited Stateseconomics, higher education, university, college, public policy studies, industrial, labor relations, american culture, united states of america, usa, demographics, economy, enrollment, students, inefficiency, institutions, educators, undergraduates, faculty, academics, attendance, teachers, professors, costs, productivity.Education, HigherEconomic aspectsEducation, HigherCollege attendanceCollege teachersSupply and demandCollege costs338.4/737873338.4737873Clotfelter Charles T.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut140636Clotfelter Charles T140636MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784876003321Economic challenges in higher education3686936UNINA
