Discription:
The Economics of Screening and Risk Sharing in Higher Education explores advances in
information technologies and in statistical and social sciences that have significantly improved the
reliability of techniques for screening large populations. These advances are important for higher
education worldwide because they affect many of the mechanisms commonly used for rationing
the available supply of educational services. Using a single framework to study several
independent questions, the authors provide a comprehensive theory in an empirically-driven field.
Their answers to questions about funding structures for investments in higher education,
students&#8217attitudes towards risk, and the availability of arrangements for sharing individual
talent risks are important for understanding the theoretical underpinnings of information and
uncertainty on human capital formation.Investigates conditions under which better screening leads
to desirable outcomes such as higher human capital accumulation, less income inequality, and
higher economic well-being.Questions how the role of screening relates to the funding structure for
investments in higher education and to the availability of risk sharing arrangements for individual
talent risks.Reveals government policies that are suited for controlling or counteracting detrimental
side effects along the growth path.
