It's not very often that education issues get so much attention in the news, but spurred by the student loan mess and the looming enrollment decisions, there have been a number of pieces of interest lately:
The Wealth Trajectory: Rewards for the Few (NYT) N. GREGORY MANKIW
The (Yes) Low Cost of Higher Ed (NYT) DAVID LEONHARDT
Bank of America to Direct Student Loans to Federal Program (WSJ) ROBERT TOMSHO AND COREY BOLES
Citi Unit Curbs Student Loans (WSJ) KEVIN KINGSBURY
The New Math of College Financing (WSJ) ANNE MARIE CHAKER
There have also been a number of interesting blogs:
Why Is College Tuition Subsidized, While K-12 Is Not? Stephen J. Dubner
Student Loans May Be Impacted by the Mortgage Crisis Pete Davis, HT: Brad DeLong
Costs and Benefits in Education Felix Salmon (Note his conclusion.)
I'll be discussing the Davis piece in detail later this week when we officially release A Tuition Bubble? Lessons from the Housing Bubble, available online here.
