Abstract

A public choice approach is used to examine the level of a tax-financed grant chosen by a cohort, allowing for a wide range of interdependencies, including the government's budget constraint. The existence of an externality is necessary, but not sufficient, for support of a grant. It is shown that a majority voting equilibrium exists. Comparative static analyses are carried out using a minimum of assumptions about the structure of the model. An increase in government expenditure for non-higher education purposes is associated.with an increase in the preferred grant, while an increase in private returns to education reduces the grant.
