Why might the market alone lead to inefficient outcomes in HE provision? 1. Credit market failure 2. Externalities 3. Risk and uncertainty 4. Information problems 1. Credit market failure • HE study by students requires cash for fees and living expenses • With perfect credit markets, students borrow now and repay from future income • But credit markets are not perfect: 1. Lack of collateral to secure debt against 2. Asymmetric information: borrower has more information than lender 3. Adverse selection/moral hazard problems high interest/rates and/or credit rationing 2. Externalities • Education may create benefits to society over and above those that accrue to the individual • Total return to education = private return + social return • Individuals do not generally incorporate social return to education in weighing up costs and benefits? 3. Risk and uncertainty • Student may be reluctant to borrow • Perceived risk of failing the degree • Uncertain returns to a degree: positive on average but high variance • Might need high risk premium to make the investment worthwhile • Debt aversion • Understanding behavioural responses crucial 4.

  • The US College Loans System Lessons from Australia and England
    Economics of Education Review xxx (xxxx) xxx–xxx Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Economics of Education Review journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/econedurev The US college loans system: Lessons from Australia and England ⁎ Nicholas Barra, Bruce Chapmanb, Lorraine Deardenc, , Susan Dynarskid a London School of Economics and Political Science, United Kingdom b Australian National University, Australia c University College London, Institute for Fiscal Studies and IZA, United Kingdom d University of Michigan and NBER, USA ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT JEL classification: There is wide agreement that the US student loan system faces significant problems. Seven million borrowers are H28 in default and many more are not repaying for reasons such as returning to school, or economic hardship. The I22 stress of repayments faced by many students results at least in part from the design of US student loans. I28 Specifically, loans are organised like a mortgage, with fixed monthly repayments over a fixed periodoftime, J24 creating a high repayment burden on borrowers with low income. This paper draws on the experience of the Keywords: income-contingent loan (ICL) systems operating in England and Australia, in which monthly or two-weekly Income-contingent loans repayments are related to the borrower's income in that period, thus building in automatic insurance against Mortgage-type loans inability to repay during periods of low income. We discuss the design of this type of loan in detail since such an Student loan design exercise seems to be largely absent in the US literature. Drawing on data from the US Current Population Survey Loan defaults (CPS) we provide two main empirical contributions: a stylised illustration of the revenue and distributional implications of different hypothetical ICL arrangements for the USA; and an illustration of repayment problems faced by low-earning borrowers in the US loan system, including a plausible example of adverse outcomes with respect to Stafford loans.

One is lower data quality in the early years of the data: crucial information is sometimes missing or inconsistent across years. As far as charac­ teristics ought to be constant across years, we have dealt with missing data by taking the earliest record as authoritative.1 In cases where information on subject studied was missing, we have filled in missing data from earlier years on the same course of study.2 We also harmonised the birth year of each individual, taking data from undergraduate degrees as the most authoritative for cohorts for which no NPD data are available.3 A second challenge is changing variable definitions over time. The most important example of this for our purposes is a radical change in the way HESA classifies courses that occurred between the 2006/07 and 2007/08 academic years.4 As far as possible, we have attempted to follow HESA’s own coarser classification of degrees that includes a category for first degrees.5 However, we have diverged slightly from this classification in the interest of continuity with the pre-2007/08 classification scheme. As a result, we classify the following course codes as ‘undergraduate degrees’ for our pur­ poses: • the courseaim codes 18 to 24 • the qualaim codes H00, H11, H12, H16, H18, H22, H23, H24, H50, I00, I11, I16.

  • The Role of Credit Constraints in Educational Choices: Evidence from the NCDS and BCS70
    The Role of Credit Constraints in Educational Choices: Evidence from the NCDS and BCS70 Lorraine Dearden Leslie McGranahan Barbara Sianesi December 2004 Published by Centre for the Economics of Education London School of Economics Houghton Street London WC2A 2AE © Lorraine Dearden, Leslie McGranahan and Barbara Sianesi, submitted October 2004 ISBN 07530 1844 6 Individual copy price: £5 The Centre for the Economics of Education is an independent research centre funded by the Department for Education and Skills. The views expressed in this work are those of the author and do not reflect the views of the DfES. All errors and omissions remain the authors. Executive Summary In this analysis we seek to shed light on the extent to which credit constraints may affect indi- viduals’ choices to stay in full-time education past the age of 16 and to complete higher edu- cation (HE) qualifications in the United Kingdom, and on how this has varied between indi- viduals born in 1958 and in 1970. The observed correlation between family income and educational outcomes can be interpreted as arising from two quite distinct sources: 1. short-run credit constraints, whereby a limited access to credit markets means that the costs of funds are higher for children of low-income families; 2. long-run family background and environmental effects, which produce both cognitive and non-cognitive ability and also mould children’s expectations and tastes for educa- tion, all of which crucially affects schooling choices and outcomes. The aim of the analysis is to separate out the pure effect on schooling of short-term income constraints from longer term family income and background influences.
