Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third essay measures the effect of oversubscribed courses at a community college using a fuzzy regression discontinuity (FRD). The FRD relies on reconstructed enrollment queues, and exploits the discontinuity in enrollment at the waitlist cutoff. Using data from a large community college and the NSC, findings indicate that students substitute for unavailable courses with other courses in the same subject. We find no significant effects on later performance or transfer to other colleges.

Book excerpt: We use financial aid application data to show that complexity contributes little to the targeting of aid, despite evidence that its administrative and psychological costs are substantial. In the final essay, I examine the impact of the PROMISE scholarship in West Virginia, which provides financial incentives for college student performance. The program could work either by relaxing financial constraints or by inducing additional student effort. Using administrative data, I exploit discontinuities in both the eligibility formula and the timing of implementation to identify program effects. I find significant impacts on key outcomes including graduation. The concentration of impacts at the precise thresholds for annual scholarship renewal suggests that the program works by establishing clear academic goals and incentives to meet them, rather than by simply reducing the cost of college.

Book excerpt: This dissertation consists of three chapters examining issues relevant to current higher education policy debates. In the first chapter, I use surveys, in-depth interviews, and administrative records from a sample of Wisconsin Pell Grant recipients who chose among Wisconsin public colleges and universities to explore whether students' initial college choices affected their early college experiences and to examine how this was associated with their persistence and achievement in college. After controlling for a robust set of observed characteristics, students attending their first choice college have similar levels of early academic and social integration into college life and similar academic outcomes when compared to students who did not attend their first choice college. In the second chapter, I use a form of cost-effectiveness analysis to estimate institutional performance and compare the results to popular college rankings, which generally reward colleges for attracting stronger students and spending more money. I use data from IPEDS, College InSight, and the Delta Cost Project for nearly 1,300 colleges and universities to estimate value-added to one important outcome: college graduation. I then adjust for two different types of costs for different audiences: the net price of attendance and per-student educational expenditures. All of the methods provide different results from the popular college rankings, suggesting that adjusting for costs and inputs yield a different set of high-performing institutions. In the third chapter, I address concerns about the timing of the current financial aid system, in which students from low-income families receive concrete information about the cost of college too late to academically and financially prepare for college. Using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, I conduct a simulation of the effects of using a simplified eligibility process to make an early commitment of the full Pell Grant to eighth graders from needy families. The simulation of the estimated fiscal effects suggests that Pell program costs would grow by approximately $1.5 billion annually and the benefits would exceed the costs by approximately $600 million.

Book excerpt: This is true regardless of whether we control for four-year college quality. Since students who obtain a bachelor's degree have no reason to reveal their transfer status to employers, this is evidence that college quality has important implications for labor market returns independent of signaling effects. We also find some evidence that the negative effect of transferring is largest for women as well as students at the lowest and highest ends of the ability distribution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demands for greater public sector accountability and changing economic circumstances are creating big changes for public higher education institutions in the United States (Alexander 2000). Increasingly, citizens and policymakers are treating public higher education less as a social institution, and more as an industry essential to innovation and economic growth (Gumport 2000). Consequently, public higher education institutions are losing the relative autonomy they once enjoyed, as they face pressures from multiple constituencies to improve access, affordability, and quality. Declining state appropriations, the proliferation of performance accountability policies, and significant organizational change are important emerging issues characterizing the new policy context for public higher education. This dissertation explores these issues in three essays addressing questions relating to the use of performance management in public higher education. Chapter 2 focuses on the factors associated with state adoption of performance funding policies, while Chapter 3 explores its effects on graduation rates and degree production, as well how differences in institutional mission and capacity condition those effects. Chapter 4 examines how performance funding affects college affordability. Overall, the findings suggest that performance funding policies may improve performance for a certain subset of institutions, but may also harm access and affordability.
