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. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research monograph. 606 $aEducation, Higher$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aEducation, Higher$zUnited States$vStatistics 606 $aCollege attendance$zUnited States 606 $aCollege teachers$xSupply and demand$zUnited States 606 $aCollege costs$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aEducation, Higher 615 0$aCollege attendance 615 0$aCollege teachers$xSupply and demand 615 0$aCollege costs 676 $a338.4/737873 676 $a338.4737873 700 $aClotfelter$b Charles T., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 701 $aClotfelter$b Charles T$0140636 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458409703321 996 $aEconomic challenges in higher education$92036825 997 $aUNINA
