Yet, the economic issues affecting this industry have been paid relatively little attention. In this collection of eight essays, experts in economics and education bring economic analysis to bear on such underexamined topics as the nature of competition in higher education, higher education's use of resources, and who chooses to purchase what kind of education and why. In higher education, supply refers to such issues as government support for public colleges and universities, the means by which graduate programs allocate financial support to students, and the criteria that universities use for investing endowments. Demand pertains to patterns of student enrollment and to the government, business, and individual market for the service and research activities of higher education. Why are tuitions nearly the same among schools despite differences in prestige? How are institutions with small endowments able to compete successfully with institutions that have huge endowments? How are race and ethnicity reflected in enrollment trends? Where do the best students go? What choices among colleges do young people from low-income backgrounds face? This volume addresses these questions and suggests subjects for further study of the economics of higher education. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research project report. 606 $aEducation, Higher$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aCollege attendance$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aEducation, Higher$zUnited States$xFinance$vCongresses 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aCollege attendance 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xFinance 676 $a338.47 701 $aClotfelter$b Charles T$0140636 701 $aRothschild$b Michael$f1942-$0103899 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967739103321 996 $aStudies of supply and demand in higher education$94351786 997 $aUNINA
