        AB  - In this paper we provide evidence for the impact of public funding on enrolment of students in
college. We use a panel for European countries and apply instrumental variables techniques
to find that public funding for schooling – regardless at what level – does increase college
enrolment alike with an elasticity of about one. A second issue concerns the impact of tuition
fees, which are found to reduce college enrolment.
