近期，上财经院经济学系的Nathan Schiff（史一飞）常任副教授与Brian Knight（布朗大学）的合作论文Reducing Frictions in College Admissions: Evidence from the Common Application在美国经济杂志经济政策学、我校认定的经济学国际一类期刊American Economic Journal: Economic Policy上在线发表。
论文摘要
College admissions in the U.S. is decentralized, creating frictions that limit student choice. We study the Common Application (CA) platform, under which students submit a single application to member schools, potentially reducing frictions and increasing student choice. The CA increases the number of applications received by schools, reflecting a reduction in frictions, and reduces the yield on accepted students, reflecting increased choice. The CA increases out-of-state enrollment, especially from other CA states, consistent with network effects. CA entry changes the composition of students, with evidence of more racial diversity, more high-income students, and imprecise evidence of increases in SAT scores.
