Viewpoint: Medical student loans - why they matter to general practice.

I was lucky as a medical student. When I was at medical school, I paid no fees and also received a grant for living expenses. As a result I qualified with minimal debt. Did this happen during more prosperous times? No — it happened in the 1980s in Ireland when the country was still in the grip of a deep recession. Today our leaders talk of the economic necessity of tuition fees and student loans to enable the payment of those fees, however economic necessity is probably less today than it was 25 years ago. Truly it is more a political necessity than an economic one. Over the past 15 years I have often worried about the effect of tuition fees and loans on medical education. Student debt will put prospective students off medicine; it will discourage diversity; and it will encourage junior doctors to think …

Much ado about €500: do tuition fees keep German students from entering university? Evidence from a natural experiment using DiD matching methods

This paper estimates the effect of tuition fees on enrolment behaviour among prospective students in Germany. According to the rational choice theory (RCT), we argue that due to the higher costs brought on by such fees tuition fees should have a negative effect on student's enrolment. This should be even more pronounced among prospective students from socially disadvantaged families. The analyses take advantage of the non-uniform introduction of tuition fees that provide the unique case of a natural experiment. To account for non-random selection, we apply a “difference-in-differences propensity score matching” method. However, none of the analyses provided any evidence to support the assumption that tuition fees of €500 have a negative effect on the enrolment decisions of prospective students including those from families where neither parent has a university degree.

The Effect of Tuition Fees on University Applications: Evidence from the UK

This article exploits variation in university tuition fees over time and across countries in the UK to examine the effect of fees on applications to higher education. It focuses on two policy changes: the removal of upfront tuition fees in Scotland in 2001 and the increase in fees in England in 2012. The findings suggest that the 2001 reform increased applications by 24.4%, while the 2012 reform reduced applications by 30.3%. The 2012 reform had a larger negative effect for applicants aged 20 and over and for courses with lower expected earnings after graduation.

The effect of tuition fees on student mobility: the UK and Ireland as a natural experiment

We exploit changes in student funding policies across the four UK nations and the Republic of Ireland to conduct a natural experiment investigating the marginal effect of differing tuition fee levels on students' enrolment behaviour. Whilst previous international research suggests increases in fees suppress demand and disincentivise cross‐border educational migration, some studies in North America and Germany find an element of inelasticity of demand. In the UK, various commentators have predicted marked shifts in student mobility in response to variation in tuition fee prices by country, trends expected to sharpen following substantial planned rises in tuition fees from 2012. After outlining tuition fee policies in the UK and Ireland, we analyse data on student enrolment destinations across the five countries for the period 2000–2010. We find little evidence to support the notion that student mobility is driven by economic ‘rationality’. Enrolment rates have risen despite increases in tuition fees and there is a long‐term trend for students to stay at home. Students seem not to be ‘pushed’ out‐of‐country by higher fees, but may be discouraged from moving if fees are lower in‐country. Student mobility within the UK and Ireland follows well‐worn paths from and to specific countries and institutions. Finally, we consider the implications of our findings for student mobility in general and forthcoming changes to UK student funding policies in particular.

University Strategy in an Age of Uncertainty: The Effect of Higher Education Funding on Old and New Universities

AbstractThis paper explores the effects of changes in funding arrangements, and particularly in tuition fees, on universities and their strategic responses to these changes. Using data from interviews with senior managers in four universities, it finds the most prestigious, pre‐1992, university largely unaffected by tuition fees and the others responding to changes in application patterns and intake. However, the effects of tuition fees on university strategy are not easily separated from other changes in the funding of Higher Education, and universities’ strategies were strongly influenced by the need to reduce costs and to generate income. A second major concern of all four universities was quality, both of inputs such as students and staff and of outputs, in degree results and ratings in employability, research, teaching and other activities. Marketing was assuming a position of increasing importance, with universities striving to develop a ‘brand’ to attract students, staff and funding.
