ISA research cited by White House and others
JFI’s empirical research team, led by Sidhya Balakrishnan, recently published a study of income share agreements that we conducted in partnership with the Philadelphia Fed.
This research formed part of a White House issue brief, “The Economics of Administration Action on Student Debt,” written by the Council of Economic Advisors:
“Evidence suggests that there is demand for plans like SAVE (Balakrishnan et al., 2024), particularly as SAVE can provide sizable benefits to borrowers in terms of reducing their long-term debt burden and keep monthly payments low (dependent on a borrower’s income) after they finish school.”
The paper was also featured on Marginal Revolution and Times Higher Education.
