Abstract

Sá C., Florax R. J. G. M. and Rietveld P. Living arrangement and university choice of Dutch prospective students, Regional Studies . The nature of university choice and living-arrangement decisions of Dutch prospective students is analysed. A random utility maximization nested logit model of living-arrangement and university-choice decisions is estimated. Estimation results show distance deters both prospective students living at the parental home and those living elsewhere. Dutch youngsters appear not to be guided by investment motives. They attend the same university as their high school peers. Tight housing markets lower the probability of choosing a given university. Male and low-income students stay longer with their parents in comparison with prospective students with non-Dutch parents. Sá C., Florax R. J. G. M. and Rietveld P. 丹麦准学生的生活安排及院校选择,区域研究。 本文对丹麦国内准学生生活安排与学院选择的特征进行了分析。我们针对生活安排以 及院校选择的决策进行了一个随机的效用最大化嵌套LOGIT模型估测。估测结果表明,对于那些生活在父母家中以及其他地方的准学生而言,距离是一个重要的考量因素。投资动机似乎并未引导丹麦的年轻人。他们更青睐那些他们的高中前辈所选择的大学院校。住房市场紧张这一事实降低了学生选择特定院校的可能性。较之那些双亲为非丹麦人的准学生而言,成年及低收入学生与父母共同居住的时间相对较长。 生活安排 院校选择 随机效用最大化 嵌套Logit Sá C., Florax R. J. G. M. et Rietveld P. Le logement et le choix d’universit� des futurs �tudiants n�erlandais, Regional Studies . Cet article cherche à analyser les d�terminants du choix d’universit� et de logement des futurs �tudiants en Hollande. On estime un modèle logit hi�rarchique au hasard de la maximisation de l’utilit� qui traite du logement et du choix d’universit�. Les r�sultats estim�s laissent voir que la distance dissuade à la fois les futurs �tudiants qui habitent chez leurs parents et ceux qui habitent ailleurs. Il semble que les jeunes n�erlandais ne soient pas influ�s par les possibilit�s d’investissement. Ils assistent à la même universit� que ne le font leurs pairs des �tablissements secondaires. Des march�s du logement serr�s r�duit la probabilit� de choisir une universit� donn�e. Les �tudiants masculins et à faible revenu restent plus longtemps chez leurs parents que ne le font les futurs �tudiants dont les parents ne sont pas de nationalit� n�erlandaise. Logement Choix d’universit� Maximisation de l’utilit� au hasard Logit hi�rarchique Sá C., Florax R. J. G. M. und Rietveld P. Universitäts- und Wohnungswahl von potenziellen holländischen Studenten, Regional Studies . Wir analysieren die Art der Entscheidungen von potenziellen holländischen Studenten hinsichtlich ihrer Universitäts- und Wohnungswahl. Hierfür nehmen wir eine Schätzung für ein Nested-Logit-Modell der zufälligen Nutzenmaximierung hinsichtlich der Entscheidungen bei der Universitäts- und Wohnungswahl vor. Aus der Schätzung geht hervor, dass Entfernung für potenzielle Studenten, die bei ihren Eltern wohnen, ebenso abschreckend wirkt wie für Studenten, die woanders wohnen. Junge Holländer scheinen sich nicht von Investitionsmotiven leiten zu lassen. Sie besuchen dieselbe Universität wie ihre Klassenkameraden in der Sekundarstufe. Aufgrund der Wohnungsnot verringert sich die Wahrscheinlichkeit der Auswahl einer bestimmten Universität. Männliche und einkommensschwache Studenten leben im Vergleich zu potenziellen Studenten mit nicht holländischen Eltern länger bei ihren Eltern. Wohnungswahl Wahl der Universität Zufällige Nutzenmaximierung Nested-Logit-Modell Sá C., Florax R. J. G. M. y Rietveld P. Opciones de vivienda y universidad para los futuros estudiantes holandeses, Regional Studies . En este art�culo analizamos qu� tipos de decisiones toman los futuros estudiantes holandeses con respecto a las opciones de universidad y vivienda. Para ello calculamos en un modelo logit anidado la maximización aleatoria de utilidad en lo que respecta a elegir una universidad y vivienda. Los resultados de las estimaciones muestran que la distancia disuade a los futuros estudiantes, tanto los que viven en el hogar familiar como los que viven en otros lugares. No parece que los holandeses jóvenes se gu�en por motivos de inversión. Asisten a la misma universidad que sus compañeros de instituto. La escasez de vivienda reduce la probabilidad de elegir una determinada universidad. Los estudiantes masculinos con bajos ingresos viven más tiempo con sus padres en comparación con los futuros estudiantes de padres no holandeses.
