本章用图表和叙述来说明经济学家如何利用决策行为模型来分析高等教育政策。决策者的行为模型考虑他们的目标和他们在追求这些目标时所面临的约束。许多高等教育政策影响决策者所面临的收入、信息或时间的限制，经济学提供了分析框架，对理解和评估这些政策的有效性特别有用。本章详细介绍了教育经济学中使用最广泛的理论框架--人力资本理论和高等教育投资市场模型如何应用于分析有关学生入学的高等教育政策。该报告旨在为没有受过经济学培训的学者，管理人员和政策制定者介绍经济模型和高等教育政策分析，但希望了解如何使用经济学来分析高等教育政策。
This chapter uses diagrams and narration to illustrate how economists utilize models of decision making behavior to analyze higher education policies. Models of the behavior of decision-makers consider their goals and the constraints they face in pursuing those goals. Many higher education policies influence the constraints—on income, information or time—that decision-makers face, and economics provides analytical frameworks that are particularly useful for understanding and evaluating the effectiveness of such policies. The chapter details how human capital theory—the most widely-used theoretical framework in economics of education—and a model of the market for investment in higher education are applied to analyze higher education policies regarding student access. The presentation is intended as an introduction to economic models and higher education policy analysis for scholars, administrators, and policymakers who are not trained in economics, but would like to understand how economics can be used to analyze higher education policy.
