  • the effects of the 2006 Tuition Fee reform and the great recession on university student dropout behaviour in the uk
    Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, 2019
    Co-Authors: Steven Bradley, Giuseppe Migali
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper investigates the causal effect of the Great Recession, and a conditional effect of a Tuition Fee reform, on the risk of students dropping out of HE. We use HESA data and our analysis combines duration modelling with difference-in-differences. We find that the causal effect of the recession increases the risk of drop out, especially for males. A smaller and positive effect of the Tuition Fee reform for males, whereas we observe the opposite effect for females. Differences in dropout behaviour are also found for high and low income groups, and between different types of university and subjects studied.

  • The Effect of a Tuition Fee Reform on the Risk of Drop Out from University in the UK
    2015
    Co-Authors: Steve Bradley, Giuseppe Migali
    Abstract:

    This paper investigates whether the increase in university Tuition Fees in 2006 changed student drop out behaviour. Using data on multiple cohorts of first year students who enrolled between 2003-2010, we estimate duration models controlling for unobserved heterogeneity. Our findings suggest that the policy reform reduced the hazard of dropping out by 16 percent, however, there were differences in the impact of the reform in terms of income groups, the type of university attended and the subject studied. The effect of the reform was not just a one off, but persisted for a number of years after 2006. Drop out behaviour in the post-reform period was also affected by the recession in 2008, and there may have been possible changes in the composition of the student population, which makes it difficult to quantify the full effect of the Tuition Fee increase. Finally, the Tuition Fee reform had a spillover effect on the drop out behaviour of Scottish students attending Scottish universities, a group exempt from the Tuition Fee reform.

  • university dropouts an evaluation of the eects of a Tuition Fee reform in the uk
    2013
    Co-Authors: Steve Bradley, Giuseppe Migali
    Abstract:

    This paper attempts to demonstrate that the 2006 UK HE reform which has increased student debt, by raising Fees and introducing income contingent Tuition Fee loans, has also generated higher ‘reluctance to borrow’ leading to higher rates of university dropout. We estimate the causal eect of the reform on drop out using multiple cohorts of administrative data for students who enrolled in the period 2003-2009. Our treatment group are English, Welsh and Northern Irish students and our comparison group, who were unaected by the reform, are international students. We estimate dierence-in-dier ences models with propensity score covariate adjustment. Our ndings suggest that the policy reform raised the probability of dropping out by around 1 percentage point, an eect which varies by gender, year of study and type of university attended. We also show that the eect of the reform was not just a one o but persisted for up to 2 years. Finally, we demonstrate a continuum of student responses to the reform - students who switch their degree scheme and particularly those who pause their studies are much more likely to drop out following the reform. Our evidence raises some important issues regarding the 2011 Tuition Fee reforms.
