The Determinants and Consequences of School Choice Errors in Kenya
研究发现肯尼亚精英中学招生中，即使高分学生也会犯选择错误，女生、低分学生及来自公立或低质量学校的学生更易出错，这些错误降低了进入精英中学的概率。
School choice systems designed to help disadvantaged groups might be hindered by information asymmetries. Kenyan elite secondary schools admit students from the entire country based on a national test score, district quotas, and stated school choices. We find even the highest ability students make school choice errors. Girls, students with lower test scores, and students from public and low quality schools are more likely to make such errors. Net of observable demographic characteristics, these errors are associated with a decrease in the probability that a student is admitted to an elite secondary school, relegating them to schools of lower quality.
