Abstract | The National Commission on the Financing of Postsecondary Education (NCFPE) developed a comprehensive analytical framework--a process--to evaluate the alternative financing proposals for postsecondary education. This staff report describes this framework, placing special emphasis on two of its major components--a data base and an analytical model. The data base includes data on postsecondary education, institutions, students, and sources of financing. Details are provided that indicate the ways in which the analytical model, a set of nonlinear, simultaneous equations, was used to project the impacts of various financing patterns on the achievement of those postsecondary educational objectives that can be measured quantitatively. The model, which operates through a time-sharing terminal, helps the analyst examine the impacts of key policy parameters on an interactive basis and obtain results immediately. Finally, this staff report explicates how the model may be used to evaluate several financing proposals as well as to assist in the construction of additional financing plans for postsecondary education. As background for the analysis, several key parameters of the complex decisions related to public policy are identified in this report, the applicable literature is reviewed, and new directions for research are indicated.
