<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The funding of higher education is under stress. On the one hand, the benefits of universities for economic prosperity and growth are increasing as universities graduate more students; undertake a greater share of scientific research; and, through cooperation with business, stimulate the technological advance of the private sector. At the same time, government funding of higher education is stagnating or even falling in many countries. The book brings together the views of an international group of experts on the financing of higher education. They examine funding trends in Asia, Europe and the United States and present practical proposals for the reform of university funding and operations and examples of successful ways of building links between industry and universities that can be mutually beneficial and supplement government funding of higher education"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Higher education is increasingly important to the labor market success of individuals and the prosperity of nations, yet, as this book shows, public funding for higher education is declining. It presents innovative approaches to increasing funding for universities through closer ties with business and through privatization of universities.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jan Andersen, University of Copenhagen, Denmark Jakub Brdulak, Associate Professor, Warsaw School of Economics, Poland Claire Callender, Birkbeck College, UK Dieter Dohmen, Forschungsinstitut für Bildungs- und Sozialökonomie (Institute for Education and Socio-economic Research), Germany Tatyana Koryakina, Center for Research in Higher Education Policies (CIPES), Portugal Marek Kwiek, University of Poznan, Poland Satoshi Mizobata, Kyoto University, Japan Cláudia S.
