The Importance of Relative Performance Feedback Information: Evidence from a Natural Experiment using High School Students
We study the effect of providing relative performance feedback information on performance under piece-rate incentives. A natural experiment that took place in a high school offers an unusual opportunity to test this effect in a real-effort setting. For one year only, students received information that allowed them to know whether they were above (below) the class average as well as the distance...
متن کاملMigrant Remittances and Information Flows: Evidence from a Field Experiment
Migrant Remittances and Information Flows: Evidence from a Field Experiment Do information flows matter for remittance behavior? We design and implement a randomized control trial to quantitatively assess the role of communication between migrants and their contacts abroad on the extent and value of remittance flows. In the experiment, a random sample of 1,500 migrants residing in Ireland was o...
متن کاملA Classroom Experiment on E ort Allocation under Relative Grading
Grading on the curve, or relative grading is one of the most commonly used grading schemes in education. Under this scheme, each student's grade is determined as a function of his or her percentile rank in the class. According to the law of large numbers, this mechanism is sensitive to changes in the size of the class. As a class size grows, the percentile ranks of students in a class draw clos...
متن کاملA Classroom Experiment on Effort Allocation under Relative Grading
Grading on the curve, or relative grading is one of the most commonly used grading schemes in education. The law of large numbers implies that as the size of a class grows, the percentile ranks of its students draw closer to their percentile ranks in the population, which changes the students’ incentives. I model this environment in order to predict how changes in the class size differentially ...
متن کاملInformation, Networks and Informal Insurance: Evidence from a Lab Experiment in the Field
When communities engage in risk-sharing with asymmetric information, wherein a member of a risk-sharing group is unable to verify the income and shocks experienced by the others, they are unable to achieve full smoothing of income risk (Thomas and Worrall 1990). The frictions that drive the possible negative impacts of hidden income are likely to be mediated by the relationships among a risk-sh...
