Abstract
Provides a compatible model to previous work on college studentmigration in the form of a recursive set of equations. Points out thathidden resource distortion, a form of rent seeking in thepolitical process, is positively related to institutional support forpublic colleges and universities in the United States. This result hasimplications concerning the goals of educational administrators, namelythe incentive to budgetmaximize. This activity relates tothe setting of public college tuition levels, which is a major factordetermining the migration incentives of college students. In this model,resource distortion in the educational production function ultimatelyalters the choice set facing consumers in the search foroptimal human capital attainment.
