Abstract	Two separate NIE research projects in higher education, closely related in substance and complementary, were undertaken in Oregon in 1973-75. During the first year, the objectives were to: (1) compute and analyze various configurations of student schooling costs and financial resources according to institutional type and to student sex and parental income; (2) develop measures of educational demand elasticity; and (3) explore the effect of introducing new variables to the estimation model. During the second year, the project objectives were to (1) extend the first year's work by additional analysis of demographic factors; (2) examine the impact of federal financial aid programs and policies on Oregon students; (3) predict changes in demand that might result from a change in the state's community college tax base; and (4) use time series data in analyzing changing patterns of demand. The third objective of the second year was not accomplished, since a fifth objective was established and substituted during the year: to explore the factors (primarily qualitative) that might influence the high school graduate's after-graduation plans, particularly his choice of an institution of higher education. The results of the research are presented primarily in narration, with some tables, and are intended for practitioners and researchers alike. (Author/MSE)
