“…We assume D is small such that each individual can afford the domestic university education. Caton and de Jong (2005) documented that, consistent with most empirical literature, domestic students are not sensitive to tuition and fees in The Netherlands. Alternatively, we can assume a government interest-free loan program in support of financial needs from students enrolled in the domestic university that effectively eliminates liquidity constraint.…”

This paper considers the effects of a branch campus on the individual college education decision and the economic welfare of a developing country. There are a single domestic college and a single branch campus established by a foreign university. A graduate from the branch campus has an opportunity to emigrate and work abroad, earning a higher income, whereas a graduate from the domestic university is not allowed to work abroad. We derive the optimal quality of the branch campus for a profit-seeking operator and a benevolent government, respectively. Economic welfare consideration suggests that a low-quality branch campus is most probably beneficial whereas a high-quality branch campus may cause severe brain drain problems and be harmful to a developing country.college education, branch campus, brain drain,

“…In particular, the studies on human capital theory linked the decisions to invest in university education with expected future income. Empirical evidence in support of such conclusions can be found in Wilson et al (2005) and Canton and De Jong (2005). The results of the studies indicate positive influence of expected returns on educational attainment.…”

High percentage of graduates (among the highest in the world) with university degrees combined with unacceptably low level of utilization of acquired qualifications and generally low quality of education in the majority of Russian universities result in huge structural imbalances. The article presents quantitative estimates of disproportions between the educational levels of employees with higher education and their professional occupation for different branches of economy. A logit models based analysis is performed of how much the professional functions performed by employees match their professional qualifications, levels of education and the extent to which their previously acquired expertise and skills are put into use. The sample used represents working population of Russia with tertiary education. The results obtained allow to the conclusion that worst disproportions between education levels attained and job requirements are observed in trade and services sector, transport and communications, housing and utilities, consumer goods and food industries. The matters are compounded by inert and informationally inefficient labor market, incapable of sending proper signals to national system of tertiary education.

“…According to the literature, students seem to be able to predict the future benefits of education based on current labor market conditions (see for example Topel 1997;or Webbink and Hartog 2004). However, as emphasized by Canton and De Jong (2005), education may also have a consumptive value, positively related to per capita income instead. Frederiksson (1997) found empirical support for the investment motive in the case of Sweden, since the variation in the share of qualified individuals enrolled at the universities was attributed to changes in the wage premium; with a significant impact of the relative employment prospects and the generosity of the allowances as well.…”

This paper lends both theoretical and empirical support to the notion of optimal foreign direct investment (FDI) levels. It does so by uncovering an inverted-Ushaped relationship between FDI and human capital formation. The optimality of a particular FDI inflow depends on the educational incentives induced by FDI on the local, heterogeneous population. Our estimates confirm the significance of a positive (linear) and a negative (non-linear) impact of FDI stocks on tertiary schooling, which are exclusively relevant in developing countries.
