“…Using data from the federal statistical office, the studies by Tecu (), Hübner () and Bruckmeier, Fischer and Wigger () analyse the effect of tuition fees on enrolment in Germany. However, these studies do not address the question of whether tuition fees contribute to educational inequality, which plays an important role in the political and public discussion.…”

This paper studies whether higher education tuition fees influence the intention to acquire a university degree among high school students and, if so, whether the effect on individuals from low‐income households is particularly strong. We analyse the introduction and subsequent elimination of university tuition fees in Germany across states and over time in a difference‐in‐differences setting. Using data from the Youth Questionnaire of the German Socio‐Economic Panel (SOEP), we find a large negative effect of tuition fees on the intentions of 17‐year‐olds to acquire a higher educational degree, with a decrease of around 8 percentage points (10 per cent). Individuals from low‐income households mainly drive the results. This study documents that the introduction of relatively low university tuition fees of €1,000 per academic year can considerably lower young people's educational intentions.

It has been argued that international students’ satisfaction level is crucial in measuring HEIs performance in the globalized higher education market. However, as satisfaction level is hard to define because it is based on students’ perception and experience, there is a need for HEIs to continually investigate and identify the factors that contribute to students’ satisfaction. Hence, this study seeks to identify the influential determinants of international students’ satisfaction in higher education and to examine the relationships between perception, costs, reputation, lecturers’ expertise, learning environment, facilities and course structure towards international students’ satisfaction. A total of 281 international postgraduate students at public HEI in Malaysia participated in this study. Data of this study was to examine using the Multiple Regression Analysis. Results of the study revealed learning environment factor as the most influential determinant of international students’ satisfaction. Results also proved that except for costs and reputation, other service quality factors namely, perception, lecturers’ expertise, facilities, learning environment, and course structure were found to influence international students’ satisfaction significantly. This study provides insights to HEIs to better design their internationalization strategies and bridge the academic gap by highlighting the importance of continuously improving the learning environment in HEIs to increase international students’ satisfaction
