Poort, Irene; Jansen, Ellen; Hofman, Adriaan – Research in Higher Education, 2023
Intercultural group work (IGW) is a valuable learning strategy to enhance deep learning and prepare university students to participate in a globalized world, so more insight is needed into what motivates students to engage actively in IGW. Using an expectancy-value theory framework, this study investigates the extent to which the different…

Weißmüller, Kristina S.; De Waele, Lode – Research in Higher Education, 2022
Bribery is a complex and critical issue in higher education (HE), causing severe economic and societal harm.

Meyer, Jasmin; Leuze, Kathrin; Strauss, Susanne – Research in Higher Education, 2022
While a large body of research addresses both subject choice and student dropout in higher education, much less is known about switching the initially chosen major. Therefore, we ask why students switch their major in higher education and analyse this for the case of Germany, taking the timing and the degree of such switches (within and across…

Kim, Jeongeun; Wiederspan, Mark – Research in Higher Education, 2021
In 2010, South Korea introduced a new student loan program that was income contingent (ICL). One of the main expected outcomes of the new loan program was to provide credit-constrained students the ability to focus on their college education rather than having to work while enrolled. To this end, this study investigates the effect of ICL on…

Ding, Yanqing; Li, Wei; Li, Xin; Wu, Yinduo; Yang, Jin; Ye, Xiaoyang – Research in Higher Education, 2021
Despite the growing evidence of informational interventions on college and major choices, we know little about how such light-touch interventions affect the gender gap in STEM majors. Linking survey data to administrative records of Chinese college applicants, we conducted a large-scale randomized experiment to examine the STEM gender gap in the…

Bolli, Thomas; Caves, Katherine; Oswald-Egg, Maria Esther – Research in Higher Education, 2021
This paper analyzes whether and how attending an internship during tertiary education affects income. We address endogeneity with an IV approach that exploits information regarding whether the internship was a mandatory component of the study. We further address selection into programs with mandatory internship by using the share of mandatory…

We merged student-level administrative data on dormitory assignments, study effort in a hybrid…
