Parental Education and the Responses to Higher SAT Scores
利用瑞典SAT系统中的断点，研究高能力学生因额外入学机会而参与高等教育的变化，发现低教育背景学生即使面对免费大学和简单申请系统也存在行为障碍，而高教育背景学生则更理性地转向高质量项目。
<h3>Abstract</h3> Using discontinuities within the Swedish SAT system, we study the causal impact of additional admission opportunities on participation in higher education among high-ability students. Students with low-educated parents who marginally pass an SAT score threshold, are more likely to enroll and graduate from programs they could have attended even with a lower score. This suggests that they face behavioral barriers even in a setting where colleges are tuition-free, student grants universal, and application systems simple. In contrast, students with high-educated parents respond to enhanced opportunities in ways that appear rational and informed; particularly by switching to higher-quality, more competitive programs.
