The Dynamics That Are Restructuring Higher Education in the US and France

Alain Alcouffe and Jeffrey Miller ()

No 12-09, Working Papers from University of Delaware, Department of Economics

Abstract: Over the past half century higher education has become an ever more important part of developed economies as an every greater number of young people need to prepare for a more complex world. This paper compares the response to this challenge in France and the US. This is a particularly interesting contrast since the two systems are different markedly in how they are structured: the US system is very decentralized and French system is very centralized.
