In today’s global and knowledge-based economy, universities play an ever greater role both in determining individuals’ labour market success and in generating research than ever before. Tertiary enrolments have soared across all continents; moreover, very large number of students now study outside their countries of origin. Universities now operate in an environment characterised not just by globalisation itself but, as discussed below, by attendant changes in stratification systems and growing marketisation. (Altbach and Knight 2007; Marginson 2016) Funding has changed accordingly. Historically, universities were funded through private fees and charitable donations. Later, many governments moved to direct funding of public higher education, with no or very low charges to students. Government grants remain central to university funding but for the last quarter-century, governments under budgetary pressure have sought to increase private contributions and have re-introduced or raised tuition fees. Reputation and ‘brand’ are central to institutions’ success in the resulting competitive environment. (Molesworth, Scullion and Nixon eds, 2011, Blackmore 2016). The muchdiscussed growth in university rankings has had a major impact on reputational dynamics; and scholars have argued that higher education is increasingly subject to ‘winner-take-all’ forces, in which a few reputational winners receive large benefits (Frank and Cook 1995; Wolf 2002; Marginson 2014; Fowles et al 2016). If so, we can expect that reputational winners may, inter alia, derive direct financial benefits through an ability to charge higher fees. This article contributes novel empirical evidence by examining the relationship between reputation and teaching income across an entire national system, England. We ask “Is a university’s teaching income directly affected by reputation?’ and examine a number of reputational factors, including league tables. The findings have important policy implications.

名字里有什么？声誉和排名对英语大学教学收入的影响

在当今以知识为基础的全球经济中，大学在决定个人劳动力市场成功和开展研究方面发挥着比以往任何时候都更大的作用。各大洲的高等教育入学人数都在飙升；此外，现在有大量学生在原籍国以外学习。大学现在在一个不仅以全球化本身为特征的环境中运作，而且如下文所讨论的，伴随着分层系统的变化和日益增长的市场化。（Altbach 和 Knight 2007；Marginson 2016）资金也相应地发生了变化。从历史上看，大学是通过私人费用和慈善捐款来资助的。后来，许多政府转而直接资助公立高等教育，不对学生收费或收费很低。政府拨款仍然是大学资助的核心，但在过去的 25 年里，面临预算压力的政府试图增加私人捐款，并重新引入或提高学费。声誉和“品牌”对于机构在由此产生的竞争环境中取得成功至关重要。（Molesworth、Scullion 和 Nixon 编辑，2011 年，Blackmore 2016 年）。备受关注的大学排名增长对声誉动态产生了重大影响；学者们认为，高等教育越来越受制于“赢家通吃”的力量，其中少数声誉卓著的赢家获得了巨额利益（Frank and Cook 1995；Wolf 2002；Marginson 2014；Fowles 等，2016）。如果是这样，我们可以预期声誉赢家尤其可以通过收取更高费用的能力获得直接的经济利益。本文通过研究英国整个国家体系中声誉与教学收入之间的关系，提供了新的经验证据。我们问“大学的教学收入是否直接受声誉影响？” 并检查许多声誉因素，包括排行榜。研究结果具有重要的政策意义。
