Rury, Derek – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2022
To study beliefs about ability and STEM major choice, I conduct a field experiment where I provide students with information that they are above average in their top fields of study. I find that STEM students are more likely to switch out of their major and that non-STEM students fail to switch into STEM at the same rates as other fields. I also…

Thurston Domina; Andrew McEachin; Paul Hanselman; Priyanka Agarwal; NaYoung Hwang; Ryan Lewis – Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University, 2019
Schools utilize an array of strategies to match curricula and instruction to students' heterogeneous skills. While generations of scholars have debated "tracking" and its consequences, the literature fails to account for diversity of school-level sorting practices. In this paper we draw upon the work of Sørenson (1970) to articulate and…

Arcidiacono, Peter; Aucejo, Esteban; Hotz, V. Joseph – Centre for Economic Performance, 2013
The low number of college graduates with science degrees--particularly among underrepresented minorities--is of growing concern. We examine differences across universities in graduating students in different fields. Using student-level data on the University of California system during a period in which racial preferences were in place, we show…
