Many countries have introduced student loans to support higher education participation and funding. However, the proportion of students who use loans seems to vary greatly across higher education systems. In this project, we investigate institutional and individual-level factors that influence student loan uptake.
There is limited evidence on the net benefits of class size reductions for students, teachers and parents. This project's aim is to understand how class size impacts educational mechanisms, health and teacher hiring, both in the short run and in the long run.
