Aid for all: College coaching, financial aid, and post-secondary persistence in Tennessee (2016, methodology): “Related work on other scholarships shows that differentially incentivizing one college sector over another leads to substitution into the incentivized sector (Kane, 2003; Cohodes & Goodman, 2014).”
Addressing the Needs of Underprepared Students in Higher Education (2005, methodology): “A similar methodology is used in Kane (2003). the student bodies look similar among nonselective, four-year public institutions (middle row), but the predicted ACT cutoffs vary across these institutions from a score of 14- 23.”
Regression-Discontinuity Analysis: A Survey of Recent Developments in Economics (2008, background): “An additional specification test for a spurious relationship between treatment and outcome at a cut-off point was proposed by Kane (2003).”
A Trickle or a Torrent? Understanding the Extent of Summer “Melt” Among College‐Intending High School Graduates (2014, result): “The evidence on the effectiveness of such aid is mixed: while several studies failed to find a significant effect of the Pell Grant on college going (Kane, 1996; Manski and Wise, 1983; Turner, 1998), scholars found other means-tested aid to positively impact enrollment (Dynarski, 2003; Kane, 2003).”
An Integrated Model of Application, Admission, Enrollment, and Financial Aid (2006, background): “Alternatively, some studies have used discontinuities in financial aid (Kane 2003; Van der Klaauw, 2002) or "natural experiments" to identify aid effects (Dynarski, 2002, 2003).”
Looking beyond Enrollment: The Causal Effect of Need-Based Grants on College Access, Persistence, and Graduation (2016, background): “This effect is in line with prior estimates of the effect of grant aid on immediate enrollment (e.g. Dynarski, 2003; Kane 2003).”
Weak Identification in Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Designs (2016, unknown): “(2009); and (Kane, 2003)).”
What works to reduce inequalities in higher education? A systematic review of the (quasi-)experimental literature on outreach and financial aid (2019, background): “…a 3.0 GPA (B) in college Low-income 18-19- year-olds (N=3,380) Enrolment (any) 30a -1.4 Black 18-19-yearolds (N=1,837) Enrolment (any) 30a -2.7 RD Kane (2003) Cal Grant, California (United States) Fee subsidy of maximum $9,036 - $9,420 per year -Need-based: income and assets below specific…”
Building the Stock of College-Educated Labor (2008, unknown): “Most relevant to the current paper, Dynarski (2000, 2004) and Kane (2003) find that large-scale state merit scholarship programs substantially increase the share of young people attending college.”
The Impact of Tuition Increases on Enrollment at Public Colleges and Universities (2011, methodology): “For example, Kane (2003) examined the Cal Grant aid program in California using data from 1998 and 1999.”
Tuition fees and the demand for university places (2009, background): “Kane et al. (2004) point to the budgetary pressures caused by Medicaid spending as an explanation for declining per capita spending on post-secondary education and higher tuition fees at public colleges in the US.”
