DEMAND FOR PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN CR

The paper deals with the demand for private university level schools in the CR. As it means to decide if "to pay or not to pay" the question is legitimate at least in an economic context. A decision to attend such a form of studies is supposed to depend on the current price of education and expected earnings after graduation hence, the price of labour. Taking account of the nature of the process an almost ideal demand system of equations is used to perform relevant analysis. After a brief recapitulation of the method and a data set construction the computations are performed and presented. Discussion follows to justify the reasonability of results as well as the suitability of the model to be used for similar analyses regardless of the level of aggregation. The model is appropriate to time series as well as to cross section data sets. The dependence of private school attendance decision on current fees and future earnings is expected and also confirmed.
