Aim High or Go Low? Pricing Strategies and Enrollment Effects when the Net Price Elasticity Varies with Need and Ability
Curs, Bradley R.; Singell, Larry D., Jr.
Journal of Higher Education, v81 n4 p515-543 Jul-Aug 2010
Detailed data on individual applicants to a large public university are used to demonstrate that net price responsiveness decreases with need and ability. Enrollment effects are simulated and show a movement towards a high tuition/high aid (low tuition/low aid) policy significantly lowers (raises) tuition revenue with a modest increase (decrease) in the number of aid-eligible students. (Contains 7 tables and 8 notes.)
