University Education as Welfare?

Chapter 11 in Public Economics and Public Choice, 2007, pp 193-199 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract There seems to be general agreement that university education ought to be subsidized either because it generates positive external effects or because such subsidies are desirable on redistributive grounds. But how large ought the subsidies to be? Is the current level of subsidisation in Germany optimal? To my knowledge, these questions have not been answered yet. This paper provides an estimate.
