The Expansion of National Educational Systems: Tests of a Population Ecology Model

Nielsen, Francois; Hannan, Michael T.

American Sociological Review, 42, 3, 479-90, Jun 77

This paper investigates the expansion of enrollments in national systems of education during the 1950-1970 period from the point of view of the population ecology of organizations. A simplified dynamic model of the growth of a population of educational organizations is estimated using various techniques for pooling time series of data. (Author/JM)
