| dc.description.abstract | This paper introduces a modified version of the Hansen-gravity model as a framework to estimate the accessibility of higher education (HE) institutions in Italy from equal opportunities perspective. The fundamental assumption underlying gravity models is that accessibility decreases with spatial distance from opportunities. The paper extends the gravity equation to include socio-economic factors influencing the access to HE. The findings reveal differences in response to quality and other institutional characteristics by parental background and gender. Finally, decomposition of overall inequality into spatial and aspatial components reveals both the physical and social distance between groups of students seeking higher education opportunities in the country. | en_US |
| dc.description.sponsorship | Table 1 shows the variables used in the analyses carried out in this paper. The data is extracted from a data survey provided by the Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) (Inserimento professionale dei laureati, 2011) including 14,000 male and 17,400 female graduates in 2007 and statistics provided by the Statistics and Study Office of Ministry of Education and Research (MIUR, 2003-2004-2005). The survey data includes the information of student residence in 110 Italian provinces (NUTS3 level regions) before enrolling to a university, and the name of university enroled. The actual flow of students between the province of residence and the exact addresses of universities are extracted and stacked into a table as a column vector as the variable of interest. | |
