Description

This study used Japanese microdata for specific examination of the relation between learning opportunities provided by university experiences, and PFR, reflecting Japan’s recent trend of strict selection of priority universities. Estimation results have revealed that graduates of national or public universities, particularly those who specialize in humanities and social sciences, and graduates of high-rank universities such as G30 universities (accepted by the MEXT’s Global 30 project), and universities for which learning support levels are high tend to represent an agreement with redistribution on education, even after controlling for other covariates such as household type, SES, and childhood cultural capital. Opportunities for higher benefits through redistribution in the field of higher education might affect evaluations of government redistribution related to education. Research on PFR undertakes the discovery and reconsideration of people’s traits and behavioral principles that have been heretofore overlooked in society.
