“…This perhaps reflect the fact that the culture in these countries is such that students value foreign educational experience to a greater extent and regardless of domestic access conditions, they still go overseas for higher education. In general, the results do confirm previous findings by Lee and Tan (1984) and Agarwal and Winkler (1985), that access to domestic higher educational facilities is a critical factor explaining the number of students who go overseas for higher education.…”

“…Classical economic theory would suggest that tuition fees would be inversely related to the demand for higher education and indeed Campbell and Siegel (1967), Leslie and Brinkman (1987) and Heller (1997) found higher education demand in the US to be inversely related to the amount charged by institutions. Focusing more on international students, Agarwal and Winkler (1985) also found that the demand for higher education to be inversely related to its costs. Although data on tuition fees are (4) INCOME: The ability to afford the cost of undertaking offshore studies is a critical element in the decision of whether to go overseas for higher education.…”

The paper reviews the recent trends and current developments in the global higher education market with a particular focus on growth of Asian students studying in US and UK. Using pool cross section-time series data over the 1985-2003 period, it is found that different factors affect students from different countries differently. This suggests that the marketing strategies of offshore higher education providers need to be tailored to the specific needs of different markets in order to be successful. The emergence of a number of new players in the higher education export market is also rapidly becoming a major threat to the traditional higher education service exporters.

“…The model has been used to understand international student fl ows ( Neice and Braun, 1977 ;Cummings, 1984 ; K.H. Lee and Tan, 1984 ;Sirowy and Inkeles, 1984 ;Agarwal and Winkler, 1985 ;Cummings and So, 1985 ), the decision or motivation to study abroad ( Glaser, 1978 ;Rao, 1979 ;Altbach and Lulat, 1985 ), and the international students ' choice of a country ( Mazzarol and Soutar, 2002b ). The push factors are the factors associated with the home country.…”

This study seeks to explain why and how international graduate students from East Asia choose to come to Canada to pursue advanced education, to assess the strengths and dynamics of the factors infl uencing the enrollment decision, and to describe possible implications both for educationexporting countries and universities offering graduate education. A synthesis model is developed to explain their decision-making process , while a push -pull model is used to understand the strengths of and relationships among various factors that infl uence the choice of a country, institution, program, and city. The research sample comprised 140 students from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan who enrolled in graduate programs at two large Ontario universities. The research shows a three-stage process, guided fi rst by the focus of the program (i.e. researchoriented versus professional programs). Other factors -country, institution, and city -interplay simultaneously at the later two stages. The research fi ndings reveal the signifi cant infl uence of academic ( Academic Pulling Factors and Administrative Pulling Factors ), economic, environmental, and visa / immigration pulling factors as well as a set of negative pushing factors from third countries such as the United States. This research suggests that to attract top international graduate students, policy makers and institutional administrators should focus on investing in research and ensuring the quality of graduate education, while devoting efforts and resources to the internationalization of graduate education, as well as crafting a national marketing strategy to enhance awareness of and the overall image of their higher education institutions and programs.

“…The careful study of the papers which were published in the beginning period (1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984)(1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990)(1991)(1992)(1993)(1994)(1995) revealed that some researches focused on the idea of international education as a national industry and its influence on exports (McMahon, 1992) and the other studies focused on the idea of international students flows demand (Agarwal & Winkler, 1985) (Lee & Tan, 1984). Other authors focused on the students' accessibility to the quality support services (Edmond, 1995).…”

Some Methodological ConsiderationsAlready recognized at the academic level, the gravity model is a methodological architecture, applied with success in economics, especially in the research focused on trade flows study, as well as in the case of other research methods. Although the gravity model is used with an increased frequency and for a number of years, the specialists didn't arrive to a consensus yet regarding its theoretical and methodological design.The initial gravity model in economics was based on the Newton's universal gravity law, postulating that "every two particles are attracted one to each other with a force AbstractThe aim of this paper is to analyze the Erasmus students' flows between Romania and the partner countries in the period between 2004 and 2012 using the gravity model.The analysis was made in EViews. For the determination of the coefficients, panel data were used, with 8 cross-sections and 9 periods, respectively the period between 2004 and 2012. The findings are similar with the ones in the previous studies: the GDP and the population have a positive effect on the Erasmus students' flows, the geographical distance and the cultural distance between two partner countries do not have a significant influence on the Erasmus students' flows and the linguistic similarity between the country of origin and the host country has a positive effect on the Erasmus students' flows.This paper is useful for the Romanian students, who are interested to know in which countries are other Romanian students and, also, for the Romanian and international universities, to find out which aspects they have to improve in order to be more attractive for the international students.The main originality is the application of the gravity model on the Romanian Erasmus students' flows.
