The Effect of Access to College Assessments on Enrollment and Attainment
研究了美国学生能否方便地参加SAT考试（如考点开设、免费校内考试）如何影响其参加考试、上大学及毕业的概率，发现新增加的考生中高学业能力者更可能上大学并毕业。
This paper examines if students' college outcomes are sensitive to access to college admissions tests. I construct a dataset of every test center location and district policy in the United States linked to the universe of individual testing records and a large sample of college enrollment records. I find evidence that SAT taking is responsive to the opening or closing of a testing center at a student's own or a neighboring high school and to policies that provide free in-school administration and default registration. Newly induced takers of high academic aptitude appear likely to attend and graduate from college.
