Demography in Higher Education

Friday, April 12, 2019

Lafayette College

Speaker: Nathan Grawe, PhD, Professor of Economics, Carleton College; Author, Demographics and the Demand for Higher Education

Meet the Speaker

Dr. Nathan Grawe, Professor of Economics, Carleton College

Nathan is a labor economist with particular interests in how family background--from family income to number of siblings--shapes educational and employment outcomes. Many of his works study whether access to financial resources significantly limit these important measures of success. Nathan's most recent publication, Demographics and The Demand for Higher Education (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2018) examines how recent demographic shifts are likely to affect demand for higher education and explores how colleges and policymakers may respond to meet institutional and national goals. In addition to studying how higher education is preparing for demograhpic change, in other recent work Nathan examines how the taxes implicit in financial aid formulas alter female labor force participation.

Nathan has participated in the leadership of Carleton's Quantitative Inquiry, Reasoning, and Knowledge (QuIRK) initiative and has shared what Carleton has learned through this initiative through invited talks and led professional development workshops at dozens of colleges and universities across the US and Canada.
