Logit Estimation of a Gravity Model of the College Enrollment Decision.

Leppel, Karen

Research in Higher Education, v34 n3 p387-98 Jun 1993

A study investigated the factors influencing students' decisions about attending a college to which they had been admitted. Logit analysis confirmed gravity model predictions that geographic distance and student ability would most influence the enrollment decision and found other variables, although affecting earlier stages of decision making, did not influence the final decision.
