This paper estimates the relative technical efficiency of Brazilian municipalities in the public education using the DEA model along with tobit regressions with the aid of re sampling methods. The jackstrap method enabled the estimation of robust efficiency scores, while the bootstrap allowed...

It is proposed a broad two-tier income-contingent financing system for postsecondary students, designed for public and private providers and consisting of both income-contingent loans (ICLs) and income share agreements (ISAs), with repayments to be collected by the Federal Revenue System (FRS)....
