2012年，巴西公立大学被授权对来自种族和收入少数群体的候选人采用平权行动政策。我们发现，该政策使学生的平权行动地位的战略选择，可能会拒绝高成就的少数民族学生，而承认低成就的多数学生。经验数据显示，超过49%的项目存在这种不公平。我们提出了一个选择标准和一个激励兼容的机制，对于更广泛的类似问题，特别是在巴西，是公平的，并消除了任何收益从战略上声称的特权。(JEL I23、O15、I28、J15、D82、H52）
In 2012, Brazilian public universities were mandated to use affirmative action policies for candidates from racial and income minorities. We show that the policy makes the students’ affirmative action status a strategic choice and may reject high-achieving minority students while admitting low-achieving majority students. Empirical data shows evidence consistent with this type of unfairness in more than 49 percent of the programs. We propose a selection criterion and an incentive-compatible mechanism that, for a wider range of similar problems and the one in Brazil in particular, is fair and removes any gain from strategizing over the privileges claimed.
