Ness, Erik C.; Tandberg, David A. – Journal of Higher Education, 2013
Our fixed-effects panel data analysis of state spending on higher education fills a near void of studies examining capital expenditures on higher education. In our study, we found that political characteristics (e.g., interest group activity, organizational structure, and formal powers) largely account for differences between general fund and…

Dar, Luciana; Lee, Dong-Wook – Journal of Higher Education, 2014
In this article, we explore how partisanship affects state higher education policy priorities and expenditures.

We examine the flow of federal grants-in-aid from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to the states.

This article considers the role of higher education in state budgets. It empirically models and tests the balance wheel hypothesis in a robust framework. The balance wheel model posits that in good economic times, higher education is an attractive area for states to fund and tends to be funded at a higher rate than other state budget categories.…

This study examined the relationship between and among the changes in the level of institutional fundraising and changes in state funding at Maryland public 4-year institutions. As institutions have become more engaged in fundraising, the impact of private giving success on changes in state funding becomes more apparent in the context of increased…

Holmlund, Helena; McNally, Sandra; Viarengo, Martina – Centre for the Economics of Education (NJ1), 2009
In the UK, education is the third largest area of government spending (of which school spending has the largest share). Since 2000, school expenditure has increased by about 40 per cent in real terms for both primary and secondary schools (see Figure 1). The question as to whether such investment is worthwhile is of central importance. The…

Tyree, L. Mark; Sagaria, Mary Ann D. – 1985
The effects of a budgetary formula change on 39 public colleges and universities in Virginia were assessed. As a state reaction to declining resources, the sample of 15 senior-level colleges and 24 community colleges had undergone a policy change for the 1978-1980 budget to make an adjustment upward in the student-faculty ratio. Attention was…
