College consumption amenities, academic performance, and donation behavior: Evidence from big-time college sports attendance
利用一所大型公立大学男子篮球队季票抽签分配的数据，研究发现学生出勤体育赛事对学业成绩有轻微负面影响，但对未来捐赠行为无影响，且负面效应集中在成绩较差的学生中。
Colleges compete to attract students by investing in amenities such as athletics, dormitories, and student activities. We examine the effect of student consumption of postsecondary amenities on academic achievement and future donation behavior in the context of Big-Time college sports. We resolve the selection issue using data from a large, public university with a highly-ranked men's basketball team, where student season tickets are awarded by lottery. Game attendance has small negative effects on academic performance but no impact on donation behavior. Negative academic effects are concentrated at the bottom of the achievement distribution.
