- W25933812 abstract "I investigate the effect of Affirmative Action in higher education on both study effort choice and college placement outcomes for high school students. I model college admissions as a Bayesian game where heterogeneous students compete for seats at col- leges and universities of varying prestige. There is an allocation mechanism mapping each student's achieved test score into a seat at some college. A color-blind mechanism ignores race, whereas Affirmative Action mechanisms may give preferential treatment to minori- ties in a variety of ways. The particular form of the mechanism determines how students' study effort is linked with their payoff, playing a key roll in shaping their behavior. I use the model to evaluate the ability of a given college admission policy to mini- mize racial academic gaps—the achievement gap and the college enrollment gap—and to promote academic achievement overall. I also compare alternative policies against one another in terms of these criteria; namely, color-blind admissions, quotas, and admission preferences. These policies have very different effects on effort, achievement gaps, and allocation of college admissions in equilibrium. Compared to color-blind allocations, a simple admission preference such as the one previously used in undergraduate admis- sions at the University of Michigan is unambiguously detrimental to effort incentives, and is ineffective at helping minorities gain admittance to better colleges. A Quota performs better than a Michigan-style admission preference, with some positive and some nega- tive effects on effort and achievement gaps. By design, a quota eliminates the college enrollment gap completely. Both policies widen the achievement gap among the best and brightest students." @default.
