A paper “The Universal Link between Higher Education and Pro-Market Values” by John Nye (George Mason University, HSE University), Cheryl Litman (George Mason University), Maksym Bryukhanov (HSE University), and Sergiy Polyachenko (University of New Brunswick) has been published in HSE working paper series.

The authors show in a large cross-section of countries that in almost all cases those with higher educational attainment are more pro-market and less sympathetic to economic regulation than those who have less formal education. This is true in countries with high support for markets and in those with high distrust of markets and strong support for government regulation. When considering Russian micro data, the authors consistently find that those with more education are relatively less supportive of market regulation. Different models also show that parental education is a positive predictor of pro-market values.
