Discussion of Papers on the Economics of Education.

Three papers representing advance accounts of the early stages of research in progress are discussed. "Income Redistribution Effects of Higher Education," by W. Lee Hansen, deals with broad and basic issues of public policy and financing higher education. "Demand and Supply in U.S. Higher Education: A Progress Report," by Roy Radner and L.S. Miller, deals with certain significant aspects of the sociology of higher education. "Resource Allocation in Higher Education," by Joseph A. Kershaw and Alexander Mood, deals with central problems of managing an institution of higher education. The papers contain no new results that are conclusive. (AF)
