1997年,ACT将提供给学生的免费成绩报告从三份增加到四份,每份额外报告的边际成本保持在6美元。作为对这6美元费用变化的回应,ACT考生比SAT考生发送了更多的分数报告和申请。他们扩大了他们发送分数的大学范围,低收入ACT考生参加了更有选择性的大学。粗略计算表明,该政策大大提高了低收入学生的预期收入。如此小的成本变化引起的行为变化表明,在这种情况下,小的政策扰动可能对福利产生巨大影响。
In 1997, the ACT increased the number of free score reports it provided to students from three to four, maintaining a $6 marginal cost for each additional report. In response to this $6 cost change, ACT-takers sent many more score reports and applications relative to SAT-takers. They widened the range of colleges they sent scores to, and low-income ACT-takers attended more-selective colleges. Back-of-the-envelope calculations suggest that the policy substantially increased low-income students’ expected earnings. This sizable behavioral change in response to such a small cost change suggests that in this setting, small policy perturbations can have large effects on welfare.
