• Resumen

  • Most industrial countries have traditionally subsidized the provision of higher education.

    Several alternative financing schemes, which rely on larger contributions from students, have been recently proposed. Schemes such as income contingent loans and graduate taxes provide insurance against uncertain educational outcomes. This paper analyses alternative financing schemes for higher education, with particular emphasis on the role of insurance, and provides new insights to the current policy debate.
