Endowment Management Based on a Positive Model of the University
NBER Working Paper No. 18626 ---- Acknowledgments ---- I am grateful to many people with whom I have had discussions that helped me refine ideas on this topic. I am similarly grateful to people who have written previously on this and related topics. These include William Bowen, Jeffrey Brown, Henry Hansmann, and Robert Merton. Eric Bettinger, Keith Brown, David Chambers, Stephen Dimmock, Elroy Dimson, William Goestmann, Bridget Long, Sharon Oster, Christian Tiu, Sarah Turner, and Scott Weisbenner gave me extremely helpful comments on an early outline of this paper. This paper draws very substantially on my 2011 Clarendon Lecture in Economics entitled "The Complex and Increasingly Global Market for Elite Higher Education" which is rewritten in the form of two chapters in the Clarendon Lectures monograph The Role of Markets in Education, Oxford University Press (OUP), forthcoming. I am grateful for the support of the OUP, especially Adam Swallow. I am solely responsible for the content of this paper.
