Abstract

Aggregated data are used to investigate participation in education and training, and it is found that it is appropriate to model the aggregate participation rates using a sequential choice model, whereby training choices are made ex-post by school-leavers. Both investment- side and consumption-side factors are identified affecting the participation rates, in line with the theory that education is both a consumption and an investment good. In addition, a strong effect is found from aggregate academic performance, suggesting changes in education policy made a significant contribution to the increasing uptake of post-compulsory eduction in recent years.
