The first essay contributes to the debate about the relationship between tuition fees and demand for higher education using meta-analysis. While large negative estimates dominate the literature, we show that researchers report positive and insignificant estimates less often than they should. After correcting for this publication bias, we find that the literature is consistent with the mean tuition-enrollment elasticity being close to zero.
