NEW EVIDENCE ON THE ECONOMIC DETERMINANTS OF POSTSECONDARY SCHOOLING CHOICES.

ABSTRACT The effects of tuition costs, financial aid, and individual attributes on college choice are analyzed using a conditional logit model. The results confirm that financial aid can be an important determinant of postsecondary school attendance and that individual academic ability relative to the academic standards of a college is an important determinant of which of available college alternatives is chosen.
