Grading Policy, Email Nudges, and Grade Outcomes
Shishir Shakya; Michael Levinstein
Journal of Economic Education, v55 n4 p350-363 2024
We estimate how much the average grade of students enrolled in introductory macroeconomics changes when the professor sends a reminder email. We utilize observational data to implement a difference-in-differences strategy and identify the plausibly causal effect of email nudges on the student's grade. The professor's reminder email boosts low-performing student grades by 22-28 points per 50 points.
