A Note on Measuring the Economic Impact of Institutions of Higher Education.
Brown, Kenneth H.; Heaney, Michael T.
Research in Higher Education, v38 n2 p229-40 Apr 1997
Examines a new approach to university economic impact research that views institutional expenditures as a means to increase the state's skill base, and finds that while the approach yields favorable results for higher education it fails to consider fully the effects of migration. Advises researchers to avoid this approach and use the traditional, more reliable economic-base model. (Author/MSE)
