Is it Always Good to Let Universities Select Their Students ?

Abstract: Inspired by recent tendencies in the European university system, we investigate the impact of a partial educational reform that allows universities to select students, but not the right to levy tuition fees. The initial hypothesis is that giving universities the right to select students that match best with the human capital of professors should increase efficiency measured in the productivities of students in the labor market. However, allowing universities to select the students they prefer without giving universities autonomy over tuition fees can reduce universities? incentives to improve their professors? human capital under realistic conditions.
