摘要:

‘When a man has learnt his lesson very well, it surely can be of little importance where or from whom he learnt it.’The paper discusses whether universities can continue to be the‘template for the extension and transmission of knowledge.’Technical and social changes are already undermining the universities’previous near‐monopoly of delivery of higher education. Alternative delivery methods ought to be considered on their own merits and barriers to entry should be removed. The ideal form of higher education is not necessarily residence combined with traditional teaching and associat

摘要:

Universities have lapsed into an‘abject state of financial dependence on central government’from which they should be reclaimed. Moreover, they are no longer intellectually independent. A 'single, simple financial reform’would make a great difference: universities need to determine the costs of their activities, charging accordingly, and government should once again offer students scholarships which would cover the greater part of the‘basic costs’of thei

摘要:

The recent Funding Options Review identified a minimum additional funding requirement of 900 million per annum for higher education by 2004/05 and also considered more specific needs, such as correcting for past under‐investment in infrastructure. At the same time, it contributed to the debate about the‘key choice’of funding by government or by the‘beneficiaries of higher education.’Government will need to match its aspirations for higher education with adequate funding and the universities will have to be‘even more sensitive and responsive to the needs o

摘要:

The universities are now‘one of the last seminationalised sectors of the British economy,’used by government as an instrument of social policy. This situation represents a‘Faustian bargain’which threatens both the quality and the prosperity of universities. One solution would be privatisation of some universities through public flotation. These universities could then contract with government to take state‐funded students. Two objections are that the scheme would promote elitism and that it would encourage greater inequality between universities, but the relevant question is whether it would offer an improvement on the prese

摘要:

Higher education, which provides mainly‘private goods,’is being opened to private investment in many parts of the world. The paper describes the pioneering efforts of the International Finance Corporation in this field. The IFC has approved investments in nine universities, two specialised training centres and two student loan programmes. It is too early to draw firm conclusions about the case for this form of investment, but the paper deals with some of the issues which have arisen and provides some‘guideposts’for evaluating future inve

摘要:

Competition laws are intended to protect consumers but they can be twisted to serve the interests of competitors. Complaints by competitors can be useful in anti‐trust cases but, in general, antitrust agencies should be‘deeply sceptical’of such complaints which may reflect attempts to seek protection from a more efficient competitor. Both US and EU officials have not been sufficiently sceptical of complaints against Microsoft by its competitors: consumers will pay the price for this

摘要:

Under UK devolution, public expenditure is distributed to the devolved administrations by means of the population‐based Barnett formula. However, in the July 2000 Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) the Treasury bypassed the operation of the Barnett formula to determine public expenditure levels in Wales. This was necessary in order to enable Wales to access European Objective 1 funds for economic regeneration. In so doing, the UK government has set a precedent which is destined to accelerate demands for a thorough and independent review of regional public expenditure need

摘要:

There is widespread acceptance of the advantages of a market economy but not yet of the next logical step of applying market principles to the internal operations of firms. The use of markets within firms would benefit companies and the economy. It would also require fundamental reappraisal of labour market regulations which imply master‐servant relationship
