The ‘gravity’ of quality: research quality and the attractiveness of universities in Italy
This paper investigates whether or not research quality is significantly associated with a university’s ability to attract students from other provinces in Italy. First university enrolments of students over the period 2003-2011 are regressed on universities’ research quality indicators computed from various bibliometric databases using fixed effects-gravity models. The estimates suggest that research performance is a significant predictor of student enrolment, with estimated elasticities between 0.013 and 0.059, depending on the indicator used.
