Williams Project on the Economics of Higher Education
"With only a small number of their students coming from families with the lowest incomes (10% from the bottom two family income quintiles), the nation’s most selective private colleges and universities need to know why." -- Discussion Paper 69, WPEHE
Research
The aim of the Project is to study the economics of colleges and universities, meeting high analytical standards while staying close to the institutional realities and policy concerns that motivate interest in this sector.
About WPEHE
