Does Student Loan Debt Deter Higher Education Participation? New Evidence from England (2017, methodology): “Callender and Jackson (2005) use a reduced version of this scale and, in a move away from a unidimensional concept, also measure the “cost/benefit balance of going to university.””
Constrained after college: Student loans and early-career occupational choices (2011, unknown): “The most straightforward way to implement this comparison is as a difference-in- differences (DID) analysis, comparing the between-cohort change in mean outcomes among financial aid recipients with the change among students not receiving aid.”
The Human Capital Hoax: Work, Debt and Insecurity in the Era of Uberization (2017, background): “With almost daily reports about the dreadful anxiety experienced by student creditors (e.g., Huffington Post, 2013), whole generations have sought to keep the debt collector at bay by avoiding higher education altogether (Callender & Jackson, 2005).”
Does the fear of debt constrain choice of university and subject of study? (2008, background): “We have already reported that debt aversion deterred people from the lower social classes from applying to university, but not middle‐class or upper‐class students (Callender and Jackson 2005 ).”
