Abstract

Between 2000 and 2013, higher education (HE) in Colombia expanded substantially in response to greater demand, greater supply of capacity and programs on the part of HE institutions, and policies enhancing HE access and attractiveness. We use rich student- and program-level data to decompose the observed enrollment expansion, and we show that changes in HE supply, policy, and returns account for most of the expansion and have been critical to the inflow of low-ability students. We investigate the supply expansion and the opening of new programs and find that these were driven by the economic incentives facing the institutions.

增加高等教育机会:哥伦比亚的供应、分类和结果

2000年至2013年期间，哥伦比亚高等教育大幅扩张，以应对高等教育机构的需求增加、能力和课程供应增加，以及提高高等教育准入和吸引力的政策。我们使用丰富的学生和项目层面的数据来分解观察到的招生扩张，我们发现高等教育供应、政策和回报的变化占了扩张的大部分，并且对低能力学生的流入至关重要。我们调查了供给扩张和新项目的开放，发现这些都是由机构面临的经济激励驱动的。

期刊介绍： Journal of Human Capital is dedicated to human capital and its expanding economic and social roles in the knowledge economy. Developed in response to the central role human capital plays in determining the production, allocation, and distribution of economic resources and in supporting long-term economic growth, JHC is a forum for theoretical and empirical work on human capital—broadly defined to include education, health, entrepreneurship, and intellectual and social capital—and related public policy analyses. JHC encompasses microeconomic, macroeconomic, and international economic perspectives on the theme of human capital. The journal offers a platform for discussion of topics ranging from education, labor, health, and family economics.
