Abstract

This paper evaluates the impact of a reform which replaced universal basic grants by income-contingent loans on enrolment in Dutch higher education using administrative data of ten complete student cohorts. Estimates of differences between cohorts show no negative effect of the policy on enrolment. Moreover, difference-in-differences estimates exploiting variation in eligibility for supplementary grants show no negative effect on enrolment. These findings suggest that a system of income-contingent loans can facilitate an increase of private contributions without harming access to higher education.

以与收入挂钩的贷款取代助学金是否会损害入学率？荷兰高等教育改革的新证据

本文利用 10 个完整学生组群的行政数据，评估了以与收入挂钩的贷款取代普遍基本助学金的改革对荷兰高等教育入学率的影响。对不同组群之间差异的估计表明，该政策对入学率没有负面影响。此外，利用补充助学金申请资格的差异进行的差异估算也显示，该政策对入学率没有负面影响。这些研究结果表明，与收入挂钩的贷款制度可以促进私人捐款的增加，而不会损害接受高等教育的机会。
