Federal Funding and the Rise of University Tuition Costs

Kizzort, Megan 01 December 2013 (has links)
Access to education is a central part of federal higher education policy, and federal grant and loan programs are in place to make college degrees more attainable for students. However, there is still controversy about whether there are unintended consequences of implementing and maintaining these programs, and whether they are effectively achieving the goal of increased accessibility. In order to answer questions about whether three specific types of federal aid cause higher tuition rates and whether these programs increase graduation rates, four ordinary least squares regression models were estimated. They include changes in both in-state and out-of-state tuition sticker prices, graduation rates, as well as changes in three types of federal aid, and other variables indicative of the value of a degree for four-year public universities in Arizona, California, Georgia, and Florida for years 2001-2011. The regressions indicate a positive effect of Pell Grants on in-state and out-of-state tuition and fees, a positive effect of disbursed subsidized federal loans on the change in number of degrees awarded, and a positive effect of Pell Grants on graduation rates.

Sur la répartition des unités dans les corps quadratiques réels

Lacasse, Marc-André 12 1900 (has links)
Ce mémoire s'emploie à étudier les corps quadratiques réels ainsi qu'un élément particulier de tels corps quadratiques réels : l'unité fondamentale. Pour ce faire, le mémoire commence par présenter le plus clairement possible les connaissances sur différents sujets qui sont essentiels à la compréhension des calculs et des résultats de ma recherche. On introduit d'abord les corps quadratiques ainsi que l'anneau de ses entiers algébriques et on décrit ses unités. On parle ensuite des fractions continues puisqu'elles se retrouvent dans un algorithme de calcul de l'unité fondamentale. On traite ensuite des formes binaires quadratiques et de la formule du nombre de classes de Dirichlet, laquelle fait intervenir l'unité fondamentale en fonction d'autres variables. Une fois cette tâche accomplie, on présente nos calculs et nos résultats. Notre recherche concerne la répartition des unités fondamentales des corps quadratiques réels, la répartition des unités des corps quadratiques réels et les moments du logarithme de l'unité fondamentale. (Le logarithme de l'unité fondamentale est appelé le régulateur.) / This memoir aims to study real quadratic fields and a particular element of such real quadratic fields : the fundamental unit. To achieve this, the memoir begins by presenting as clearly as possible the state of knowledge on different subjects that are essential to understand the computations and results of my research. We first introduce quadratic fields and their rings of algebraic integers, and we describe their units. We then talk about continued fractions because they are present in an algorithm to compute the fundamental unit. Afterwards, we proceed with binary quadratic forms and Dirichlet's class number formula, which involves the fundamental unit as a function of other variables. Once the above tasks are done, we present our calculations and results. Our research concerns the distribution of fundamental units in real quadratic fields, the disbribution of units in real quadratic fields and the moments of the logarithm of the fundamental unit. (The logarithm of the fundamental unit is called the regulator.)
