本文首次全面分析了英国大学排名变化对申请人和机构行为的影响。当排名下降时，大学收到的申请数量以及申请人和被录取申请人的平均关税分数都会出现小幅但在统计上显着的下降。虽然发现的影响对某些类型的学生和机构更强，但总体上往往是适度的，并表明其他因素在吸引申请人上大学方面发挥着更重要的作用。
This paper offers the first comprehensive analysis of the effect of changes in university rankings on applicant and institution behaviour in the UK. When their rank worsens, universities are found to experience small but statistically significant reductions in the number of applications received as well as in the average tariff score of applicants and accepted applicants. Although the effects found are stronger for certain types of students and institutions, they tend to be modest overall, and suggest that other factors play a more important role in attracting applicants to universities.
