Financial Aid and Student Dropout in Higher Education: A Heterogeneous Research Approach (2008, methodology): “It is now a preferred analytical tool for investigating how multi-faceted factors influence student dropout over time (DesJardins, 2003).”
Called to Account: Analyzing the Origins and Spread of State Performance-Accountability Policies for Higher Education (2006, methodology): “…analytic technique is relatively new to higher-education research, it is ideally suited for studying the kinds of dynamic social and political processes that often are at work in the adoption by states of new public policies (Berry & Berry, 1990; BoxSteffensmeier & Jones, 1997; DesJardins, 2003).”
Exploring the Effects of Financial Aid on the Gap in Student Dropout Risks by Income Level (2008, background): “With a few recent exceptions (e.g., DesJardins et al. 1999, 2002; Ishitani and DesJardins 2002; DesJardins 2003 ), prior studies provide only ‘‘snapshots’’ for understanding aid effects at one or two Res High Educ (2008) 49:1‐18 3”
Investigating the Impact of Financial Aid on Student Dropout Risks: Racial and Ethnic Differences (2010, background): “…performance, and other factors (e.g., the types and amount of financial aid received) often change over time, event history modeling is an ideal technique to examine how multifaceted factors affect the occurrence and timing of dropout over the life of students’ academic careers (DesJardins, 2003).”
The Effects of Interrupted Enrollment on Graduation from College: Racial, Income, and Ability Differences (2006, methodology): “For an explanation of the conceptual theory and an application using higher education content see DesJardins, 2003.”
How Do Transfers Survive after “Transfer Shock”? A Longitudinal Study of Transfer Student Departure at a Four-Year Institution (2008, background): “where the hazard rate depends on a and b1 at time t. Equation (3) is often referred to as the period-specific piecewise hazard model (see DesJardins 2003 for detailed model specifications in event history methods).”
Stepping Stones to a Degree: The Impact of Enrollment Pathways and Milestones on Community College Student Outcomes (2007, methodology): “b Empirical Methodology and Data Arrangement The event history statistical method we used to model outcomes of community college students is the single risk discrete-time hazard model (Allison, 1984; DesJardins, 2003; Singer & Willett, 2003).”
