Abstract
Provides a model of human capital search by examining collegestudent migration across states. Tests pertinent investment andconsumption benefits. Employs OLS estimation for 49 states, with uniquemeasures for college quality, college climate, and college location.Tests income and price parameters, as well assuperselectivity among certain college groups. Thevariables for price and college quality are highly significant, whilethe evidence with consumption benefits remains unresolved. Althoughseveral policy options remain open to college administrations, certainpublic choice incentives may act to impede the working of the universityas a firm.
