New report on Changing Economic Returns and Demand Elasticity in Higher Education is out!

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new analytical report:

Changing Economic Returns and Demand Elasticity in Higher Education, authored by Miroslav Beblavý and Barbara Bačová.

This in-depth report provides a comprehensive review of current research on the economic returns to higher education and the demand elasticity of students. It draws from global and European data to uncover patterns across regions and demographic groups.

Key topics explored include:

• Evolving wage premiums associated with higher education

• Regional and gender disparities in returns

• Students’ responsiveness to changes in tuition fees and other costs

• Policy implications for funding and access in a changing labour market

We invite all EENEE members, researchers and education practitioners to read the report. Find the full report, a Policy Brief and the executive summary (available in English, French and German).
