disadvantaged students attend less selective HE courses, and courses with lower earnings potential, than advantaged students with the same prior attainment. New blogs on our website today! https://t.co/iDzi2NKqiA @lindsey_mac @gillwyness_econ @RichMurphy_Econ @_stuartcampbell

New blogs on our website today! Morag Henderson, @nikki_shure and Anna Adamecz-Volgyi find that students who are 'first in family' have a higher probability of non-completion, even after controlling for prior educational attainment https://t.co/Fj6bPO8DdB

Excited to launch our
@NuffieldFound report on mismatch in higher education 5th Dec 10.30am. We look at how students from different backgrounds ‘match’ to their courses & why certain groups undermatch more. Come along! https://t.co/NJckfeW3Yo

Well done Gill Wyness @EconomicsofHE! https://t.co/OR7QZka82R

[Economics of HE @EconomicsofHE]

Good to see Labour looking at PQA issue.
Relates to our current work for @NuffieldFound which finds low SES students are more likely to undermatch - attend unis less selective than they could do, given their A-level grades @lindsey_mac @_stuartcampbell #alevelresultsday2019

[Economics of HE @EconomicsofHE]

Pleased to see our work on predicted grades - which found that high attainers from low SES backgrounds more likely to be underpredicted - quoted in the labour party press release on reforms to HE https://t.co/MCT066i7u4 @IOE_London @ucu

Very happy that our paper with @jscottclayton on #freecollege is out today https://t.co/0t5zVe8lAB special issue also featuring work by @lorrainedearden

[Economics of HE @EconomicsofHE]

The introduction of differed fees (through income contingent loans), increased enrollment, funding and reduced the enrollment gap.

New publication documenting the impact of England moving from ‘#FreeCollege Low-Aid’ to ‘High-Delayed-Fee, High-Aid’ on enrollment, equity and quality by @RichMurphy_Econ @jscottclayton and Gill Wyness Open Access https://t.co/cwaU57s21c

[Economics of HE @EconomicsofHE]

The free college system had some costs: capacity constraints, low funding per student, and lack of access to low income groups.
