Well, as I pointed out, the rise in tuition and fees has a completely separate dynamic than the rise in total cost, so the rise in tuition and fees would not per se be well coupled to Baumol's cost disease. If the % of tuition and fees as a fraction of total college cost shifts from 20% to 60% that could be a factor of 3x increase in tuition and fees which could occur EVEN IF COST REMAINED FLAT. Which would then say nothing at all bout Baumol's cost disease. Which is why I'm bitching about the article. It was very sloppy. And it suggests that perhaps the research was as well. I'd have to read the original research article to know that.
