Demand for Primary Schooling in Rural Mali: Should User Fees Be Increased?
Birdsall, Nancy; Orivel, Francois
Education Economics, v4 n3 p279-96 Dec 1996
Assesses the effect of school fees on primary school attendance, using household and school survey data from rural Mali. Estimates elasticity of demand regarding fees and compares it with effects of distance and quality on enrollment. User fees can provide a partial solution to the quality/enrollment problem, but cannot solve the distance problem. (20 references) (MLH)
