摘要本文通过研究挪威高中入学改革，研究竞争加剧是否会对学生的内在动机产生不利影响。先前的学生被录取到邻近的学校，而新系统引入了择校，根据初中的表现录取。使用差异中的差异方法，我们发现，尽管男孩的动机似乎不受竞争加剧的影响，但对女孩的动机却有不利后果。
Abstract This paper studies whether increased competition has adverse consequences for students’ intrinsic motivation by studying an upper secondary admission reform in Norway. While earlier students were enrolled into their neighboring school, the new system introduces school choice, where admission is based on performance in lower secondary school. Using a difference-in-differences approach, we find that whereas the motivation for boys seems to be unaffected by the increased competition, there are adverse consequences on the motivation for girls.
