Times Higher Education:
Domestic postgraduate places 'aided by overseas expansion'

3 October 2014

Fees paid by growing numbers of overseas postgraduates studying in the UK have helped to subsidise additional places for domestic learners. That is among the findings of a new paper by Stephen Machin, professor of economics at University College London, and Richard Murphy, assistant professor of economics at the University of Texas at Austin, which analyses correlations between the increases in the numbers of British-born and overseas students in UK higher education institutions. ...The full research is detailed in a discussion paper from the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics, and is summarised in article published today in CentrePiece, the Centre's quarterly magazine.
