Previous studies on this subject have found weak relationships between market performance variables and executive compensations. In this study, we respecify the traditional models to include effects of complexity of firms and a proxy variable to determine the supply-demand structure of the industry. The same was not true for the complexity variable. This study investigates the effect of private school competition on per pupil expenditure levels in 271 Michigan public school districts. A single equation estimation procedure is used to capture the effects of private school competition, wealth, ability to pay and state aid on per pupil expenditure levels across school districts.
Results indicate the effect of private school competition is small, but statistically significant.
The purpose of this article is to differentiate between academically successful and unsuccessful high risk adult learners enrolled at an open admission university. Factor analysis and hypothesis testing statistical procedures were applied to a data set of 278 individuals to analyze the difficult choices made between the social question of student accessibility and the allocation of scarce economic resources.
