Policies in Tertiary Education and the Change in Attendance and Time-to-Degree Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Roland Amann () (Department of Economics, University of Konstanz)
This paper investigates the effect of reforms on the time-to-degree and attendance at colleges. My model predicts that with imperfect credit markets imposing tuition fees may raise instead of reducing the time-to-degree. In the final section of the paper, I present a proposal for a reform which incorporates differentiated fees and a credit point system. I derive an optimal fee for maximal attendance in higher education.
