Boschung, Milla D.; Sharpe, Deanna L.; Abdel-Ghany, Mohamed
Economics of Education Review, v17 n2 p219-22 Apr 1998
Presents a decomposition technique for a Tobit regression model that shows the effect of the independent variables on (1) the amount of financial-aid awards to those receiving aid; and (2) the probability of receiving aid for those who did not receive aid. Contributes to a clearer understanding of the effects of selected factors on awards. (20 references) (MLF)
