Abstract

O governo brasileiro oferece mais de um milhão de vagas por ano em universidades públicas e gratuitas. No entanto, a educação superior no Brasil é altamente progressiva, e alunos mais ricos cursam universidades públicas com maior frequência do que alunos mais pobres.Nesse artigo, estudamos como a cobrança por parte do governo pela educação pública de alunos com condições para pagar alteraria os incentivos e o equilíbrio no mercado de educação superior. Tal taxa encoraja alguns alunos mais ricos a buscar a educação particular. Isso diminui o rigor seletivo do vestibular nas universidades públicas, e os investimentos em cursos de vestibular, aumentando o acesso de alunos carentes à educação pública. Mostramos que uma pequena taxa gera ganhos de bem-estar com uma cota inferior bastante conservadora de cerca de R$100.000 por aluno carente extra atendido pelo sistema público.
