This book examines the many ways in which economic concepts,
theories and models can be used to examine issues in higher
education. The topics explored in the book include how students
make college-going decisions, the payoffs to students and society
from going to college, markets for higher education services,
demand and supply in markets for higher education, why and how
state and federal governments intervene in higher education
markets, college and university revenues and expenditures, how
institutions use net-pricing strategies and non-price
product-differentiation strategies to pursue their goals and to
compete in higher education markets, as well as issues related to
faculty labor markets. The book is written for both economists and
non-economists who study higher education issues and provides
readers with background information and thorough explanations and
illustrations of key economic concepts. In addition to reviewing
the contributions economists have made to the study of higher
education, it also examines recent research in each of the major
topical areas. The book is policy-focused and each chapter analyses
how contemporary higher education policies affect the behaviour of
students, faculty and/or institutions of higher education.
"Toutkoushian and Paulsen attempted a daunting task: to write a
book on the economics of higher education for non-economists that
is also useful to economists. A book that could be used for
reference and as a textbook for higher education classes in
economics, finance, and policy. They accomplish this tough
balancing act with stunning success in a large volume that will
serve as the go-to place for anyone interested in the history and
current thinking on the economics of higher education." William E.
Becker, Jr., Professor Emeritus of Economics, Indiana University

The U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, which was open for
signature between December 1982 and December 1984, established a
legal regime governing activities on, over, and under the world's
oceans. The Convention resulted from the third U.N. Conference on
the Law of the Sea, which met for a total of 93 weeks between
December 1973 and December 1982. The United States and other
industrialised countries, however, while supporting most of the
treaty, did not sign the Convention or announced they could not
ratify the Convention without important changes to the parts that
dealt with deep seabed resources beyond national jurisdiction. In
1990, U.N. Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar initiated
consultations among interested governments aimed at achieving
universal participation in the Convention. From late 1992 on,
pressures mounted to revise or amend what were viewed as
unacceptable parts of the Convention. Factors contributing to this
renewed pressure included the desire for universal participation in
a convention that in most respects was acceptable world-wide,
improvements in the international political climate, changes in
economic ideology that meant greater acceptance of free market
principles, and the steady increase in the number of ratifications
toward the 60 required to bring the convention into force. This
book presents the text of the original convention and articles
related to the Sea plus a special bibliography on the subject.
