The project examines whether the choice of university contributes to vertical differentiation in the field of higher education. The main hypothesis refers to the perception of consensual reputation systems by potential students who in the act of choosing a college subjectively differentiate by its performance. This institutionalization of vertical differentiation influences elite formation in higher education and a segregation of the social composition of colleges.Vertical differentiation is therefore highly influential on education systems and the social structure of modern societies. Methodologically, a comparison is made between Germany and France based on longitudinal secondary data. Theoretically, the project employs a frame-selection model. Longitudinal analyses allow the determination of changes in the influence of reputation and social background on the choice of universities considered vertically different and in the degree of social homogeneity of institutions. In Germany the project cooperates with the Deutsche Zentrum fuer Hochschul- und Wissenschaftsforschung (DZHW), which will provide the research project with all waves of the Studienanfängerbefragung. This data set will be available as a Scientific Use File after the conclusion of the three year project. Through the use and processing of this large secondary data collection the project contributes to the improvement of the infrastructure of German social science data. For France, analysis will be conducted with secondary data from the surveys of the Conditions de vie des étudiants (CVE) of the Observatoire national de la Vie Étudiante (OVE). In their design and uniform questionnaires the two international data sets compare very well with each other and allow the operationalization of all planned variables in the theoretical model. The intended results of the project will consist of: a) a quantitatively accurate determination of the degree of elite formation in two different higher education systems; b) a theoretically and empirically important reconstruction of the extent of a selection process supported by vertical differentiation; c) a new longitudinal data set for educational research. As the choice of university and its institutional and socio-structural consequences have rarely been studied quantitatively, the proposed project will be able to fill significant research gaps and open new perspectives for the topic "elite and university". This includes in particular the question of whether and how countries despite diverse points of departure are reducing their differences in patterns of vertical differentiation and vertical closures in the field of higher education.

该项目考察了大学的选择是否有助于高等教育领域的垂直分化。主要假设是指潜在的学生在选择大学的过程中主观地根据学校的表现进行区分，从而对双方同意的声誉系统产生感知。这种纵向分化的制度化影响了高等教育精英的形成和大学社会构成的隔离。因此，纵向分化对现代社会的教育制度和社会结构具有重大影响。在方法上，根据纵向二手资料对德国和法国进行了比较。理论上，该项目采用框架选择模型。纵向分析可以确定声誉和社会背景对被认为垂直不同的大学的选择的影响变化，以及机构的社会同质性程度。在德国，该项目与德国能源技术与科学研究中心（DZHW）合作，DZHW将为研究项目提供Studienanfängerbefragung的所有波。该数据集将在为期三年的项目结束后作为科学使用文件提供。通过对这一大型二手数据收集的使用和处理，该项目有助于改善德国社会科学数据的基础设施。对法国来说，将利用国家生活观测站Étudiante （OVE）的《<s:1> <s:1>职业生涯过渡期》（CVE）调查所得的二手数据进行分析。在其设计和统一的问卷调查中，两个国际数据集相互比较得很好，并允许理论模型中所有计划变量的操作化。该项目的预期结果将包括：a)定量准确地确定两种不同高等教育体系的精英形成程度；B)对由垂直分化支持的选择过程程度的理论和经验上重要的重建；C)一个新的教育研究纵向数据集。由于很少对大学的选择及其制度和社会结构后果进行定量研究，拟议的项目将能够填补重大的研究空白，并为“精英与大学”这一主题开辟新的视角。这尤其包括一个问题，即尽管起点不同，但各国是否以及如何缩小其在高等教育领域纵向分化和纵向封闭模式方面的差异。
