Summary:碩士 === 國立屏東商業技術學院 === 國際企業所 === 101 === Abstract In the times of knowledge economy, one of the important factors to influence a country’s competitiveness is no doubt to cultivate outstanding elites. In recent years, higher education has developed from elitism and populism into generalization. As higher education keeps expanding, admission rate of colleges has been higher and higher. However, the tuition of higher education is a heavy burden for poor families. Additionally, Financial Crisis in 2008 and European Debt Crisis in 2010 affect economy depression globally. Therefore, more and more people apply student loan. This study collects information from 2003 to 2011 through logistic regression, examining the relationship among the number of people and the amount of money of student loan, unemployment rate, economic growth rate, consumer price index, GDP, Gini coefficient, tuition, and the interest rate of student loan. The study shows four explanatory variables including consumer price index, GDP, Gini coefficient, tuition, and the interest rate of student loan increases under significance level 0.05, and the four explanatory variables affect the number of people and the amount of money of student loan. If the source of students is divided into public and private schools, macroeconomic factors affect students in public schools more obliviously. If the source of students is divided into high schools and colleges, macroeconomic factors affect students in colleges more obliviously.
