Higher Education Funding
梳理了经济理论中关于高等教育经费的核心结论，并结合各国实践经验，以2004年英国改革为例进行评析，对政策制定者和教育研究者有参考价值。
The expansion of higher education throughout the OECD—and beyond—is both necessary and desirable. But it is costly, and faces competing imperatives for public spending. Higher education finance is therefore salient to an extent that is not yet fully appreciated in all countries, and is also immensely sensitive politically. This paper sets out the core lessons for financing higher education deriving from economic theory and puts them alongside lessons from country experience. The UK reforms announced in 2004 are assessed against the backdrop of those two elements. A concluding section briefly maps out unfinished business.
