Higher Education Tuition for Optimal Educational Returns.

Correa, Hector

Higher Education Policy, v11 n2-3 p229-34 Jun-Sep 1998

An elementary mathematical model is used to analyze tuition and privatization policies for higher education institutions. One finding is that an appropriate tuition can increase the social income of alumni. Another salient finding is that some of the model's results are counterintuitive, suggesting its utility in decision making. Methodological limitations of the model for policy formation are discussed. (MSE)
