Abstract

I study the effects of having marginally higher or lower initial academic grades on Masters students’ further academic achievement. I build a behavioral economics model of student’s choice of study effort that predicts motivational effects of higher initial grades on further learning outcomes for some students. I introduce an anonymous university data set and use it to discover empirical patterns in grading effects.
