The Impact of Athletic Performance on Alumni Giving : An Analysis of Micro Data

Jonathan Meer, Harvey S. Rosen

An ongoing controversy in the literature on the economics of higher education centers on whether the success of a school's athletic program affects alumni donations. This paper uses a unique data set to investigate this issue. The data contain detailed information about donations made by alumni of a selective research university as well as a variety of their economic and de-mographic characteristics.
