“…To shed additional light on the key features of such schemes, this paper exploits an exceptionally rich longitudinal data on the universe of labor force participants to simulate the working of an income contingent loan scheme to recover a part of tuition costs in one of the transition countries -Slovenia. It thus complements the simulation analysis reported by Barr and Crawford (1988) for the UK, and Chapman (1997) for Australia. Taking advantage of the exceptionally rich data sources, the paper also extends the simulation analysis in various dimensions.…”

“…10 Table 4 presents the summary results of the base variant, focusing on the state of the scheme 20 years after its implementation (20 years after enrollment); Figures 9-9 The parameters roughly correspond to the ones under the Australian Higher Education Contribution Scheme in its initial stage of introduction (see Chapman, 1997). 10 For some of the calculations, we examine the characteristics of the income contingent tuition scheme in different periods after its implementation.…”

“…Australia introduced a system of income-contingent loans in 1989 to cover a newly-introduced tuition charge, and thus offers the longest historical record. Chapman (1997;see also Chapman and Ryan 2003) note the increase in overall participation since 1989 and find, superimposed on that trend, that women's participation grew more strongly than men's, and that the system did not discourage participation by people in the lowest socioeconomic groups. Similarly, though participation by Maoris and Pacific Islanders needs continuing work (McLaughlin, 2003, p. 37), participation in New Zealand since the introduction of fees has increased for all groups.…”

“…Income contingency is central to achieving the access objective, as Australian experience amply demonstrates (Chapman, 1997). It does so because it is rooted in ability to pay: it tailors repayments week by week to what people can afford, thus protecting individuals from risk.…”
