It is an opportunity for many of the world's finest development thinkers to present their ideas. The papers in this volume were presented at the ABCDE that was held on January 16-17, 2007, in Beijing, China. Each year the topics selected for the conference represent either new areas of concern for future research or areas that the author believes will benefit from a reexamination. The topic of the 2007 conference was 'higher education and development,' which encompassed five themes: higher education and migration, private-public provision of higher education, financing of higher education, technological innovation (linkages between universities and industry), and higher education and labor markets in Asia.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACADEMIC INSTITUTIONSACCESS TO LIBRARY FACILITIESACCESS TO TERTIARY EDUCATIONACCREDITATIONACHIEVEMENTSACQUISITION OF SKILLSAGGLOMERATION EFFECTSANONYMOUS REVIEWERSBANK LOANSBASIC ECONOMICSBENEFICIARIESBOOK PRODUCTIONBRAIN DRAINCALLCAPACITY IN SCIENCECENTERS OF EXCELLENCECIVIL SERVICECOLLEGE GRADUATESCOLLEGESCOMMODITYCOMMUNITY COLLEGESCONSUMERSCONTINUING EDUCATIONCONTRIBUTIONCONTRIBUTIONSCURRENCYCURRICULACURRICULUMDEGREE COURSESDEGREESDIRECT COSTSDISCIPLINESEARLY EDUCATIONEARNINGSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTEDUCATED WORKERSEDUCATION ATTAINMENTEDUCATION DECISIONSEDUCATION EXPERTSEDUCATION FINANCEEDUCATION POLICIESEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION PROGRAMSEDUCATION PROVIDERSEDUCATION SERVICESEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENTEDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTUREEDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONSEDUCATIONAL LEVELSEDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIESEDUCATIONAL POLICYEDUCATIONAL SYSTEMEMPLOYMENTENROLLMENT RATEETHICSEXTENSION SERVICESFAMILY MEMBERSFINANCIAL ASSISTANCEFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL DIFFICULTIESFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL SUPPORTFOREIGN STUDENTSFUTURE RESEARCHGENDER EQUALITYGLOBAL LABOR MARKETGLOBAL MARKETGRADUATE LEVELHEALTH CAREHIGHER EDUCATIONHIGHER EDUCATION DEVELOPMENTHIGHER EDUCATION FINANCINGHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSHIGHER EDUCATION MARKETHIGHER EDUCATION SECTORHIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEMHIGHER LEVELS OF EDUCATIONHIGHER PRODUCTIVITYHIGHER TUITIONHIGHLY EDUCATED PEOPLEHIGHLY SKILLED LABORHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RESOURCESINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATIONINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYINTERNATIONAL STUDENTSINVESTINGJOB CREATIONLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETSLAND GRANT COLLEGESLATIN AMERICANLEARNINGLEARNING OUTCOMESLEARNING PROCESSLETLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLIBERAL ARTSLIBERAL ARTS COLLEGESLIBRARIESLIBRARY BOOKSLITERATE POPULATIONLITERATURELOANLOW-INCOMELOW-INCOME STUDENTSMARKET INCENTIVESMASS HIGHER EDUCATIONMINIMUM WAGEMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONNATIONAL CURRICULUMNATIONAL INNOVATION SYSTEMSNUMBER OF STUDENTSPAPERSPEER REVIEWPOOR PEOPLEPRESS RELEASEPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIVATE EDUCATIONPRIVATE HIGHER EDUCATIONPRIVATE INSTITUTIONSPRIVATE UNIVERSITIESPROBABILITYPROBLEM SOLVINGPROFESSIONAL SCHOOLSPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC GOODPUBLIC UNIVERSITIESQUALITY OF EDUCATIONQUALITY OF HIGHER EDUCATIONQUALITY OF TEACHINGRAPID GROWTHRATE OF ENROLLMENTRATE OF RETURNRATES OF RETURNREADERSREAL COSTSRESEARCH AGENDARESEARCH CAPACITYRESEARCH CENTERSRESEARCH COOPERATIONRESEARCH UNIVERSITIESRESEARCHERSRESPONSIBILITIESRETURNS TO EDUCATIONSALARIESSAVINGSSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL IMPROVEMENTSCHOOLCHILDRENSCHOOLINGSECONDARY EDUCATIONSECONDARY SCHOOLSECONDARY SCHOOL GRADUATESSENIORSKILLED INDIVIDUALSSKILLED LABORSKILLED OCCUPATIONSSKILLED PEOPLESKILLED PROFESSIONALSSKILLED WORKERSKILLED WORKERSSOCIAL SCIENCESOCIAL SCIENCESSTUDENT ENROLLMENTSTUDENT LOANSSTUDENT MOBILITYTEACHERSTEACHINGTEACHING MATERIALSTEACHING METHODSTEACHING STAFFTECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONTECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONSTERTIARY EDUCATIONTERTIARY EDUCATION SECTORTERTIARY EDUCATION SYSTEMTERTIARY GRADUATESTERTIARY INSTITUTIONSTERTIARY LEVELTERTIARY LEVELSTERTIARY SECTORTRAINING INSTITUTIONSTUITIONUNDERGRADUATE TEACHINGUNEMPLOYEDUNEMPLOYMENTUNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATIONUNIVERSITIESUNIVERSITY COURSESUNIVERSITY DEGREEUNIVERSITY EDUCATIONUNIVERSITY GRADUATESUNIVERSITY LEVELUNSKILLED WORKERSVALUATIONWAGEWAGESWORKERSWORLD TRADEWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7123-7
