本文考察了20世纪60年代末至80年代中期商业周期对个别社区学院入学率和财务状况的影响。我们发现，最近高中毕业生和所有成年人失业率增加1%，与全日制出勤率分别增加约0.5%和4%有关。非全日制招生也呈现出类似的反周期模式。这种联系在很大程度上延续到所获得的学位。相比之下，州和地方对每个学生的拨款是顺周期的。我们将这种资助模式解释为未能将教育政策与劳动力市场政策充分紧密地结合起来。
The paper examines the impact of the business cycle on enrollments and finances at individual community colleges between the late 1960s and the mid-1980s. We find that 1 percent increases in the unemployment rates of recent high school graduates and of all adults are associated with rises in full-time attendance of about 0.5 percent and 4 percent respectively. Part-time enrollment exhibits similar anticyclical patterns. This link carries over in large part to degrees obtained. In contrast, state and local appropriations per student are procyclical. We interpret this funding pattern as a failure to integrate education policy sufficiently closely with labor market policy.
