New WP! We study whether telling first-year students about the earnings they forgo by delaying graduation changes their choices. Framing salaries as opportunity costs does not speed up progress but increases early dropout among students who are likely to exit eventually. www.ifo.de/DocDL/cesifo...
Paper Title: Information Framing and Student Decisions: Evidence from an Opportunity Cost Intervention
Authors: Lars Behlen, Raphael Brade, Oliver Himmler, Robert Jäckle
Abstract: Opportunity costs are central to economic decision-making but often neglected. In a pre-registered experiment with 2,222 German university freshmen, one treatment provides salary information; another additionally frames it as the opportunity cost of delayed graduation. Only the opportunity cost framing causes students to update salary expectations. We find no effect on academic progress but a 2.8 percentage points increase in first-semester dropout (p=0.080), concentrated among high-dropout-probability students (5.9 pp, p=0.025). For these marginal students, dropping out instead of progressing faster is the actionable margin. By semester three, dropout rates converge, suggesting acceleration of eventual exits rather than additional dropouts.
Keywords: natural field experiment, opportunity cost neglect, earnings expectations, academic achievement

Check out this scatterplot of health spending per capita (x axis) & life expectancy (y axis) in OECD countries (lines = averages). The United States sits alone in the bottom right area due to its very high spending rate and below-average life expectancy. More www.oecd.org/en/publicati... 🧪
Figure 1.7 illustrates the extent to which countries that spend more on health have better health outcomes. 
There is a clear positive association between health spending per capita and life expectancy at birth (Figure 1.7). Among the
38 OECD countries, 18 spend more and have higher life expectancy than the OECD average (top right quadrant). A further
11 countries spend less and have lower life expectancy than the OECD average (bottom left quadrant).
Of particular interest are countries that deviate from this basic relationship. Eight countries spend less than the OECD average
but achieve higher life expectancy overall (top left quadrant). This may indicate relatively good value for money of health systems,
notwithstanding the fact that many other factors also have an impact on health outcomes. These eight countries are Korea, Spain,
Italy, Israel, Portugal, Chile, Costa Rica and Slovenia. The only country in the bottom right quadrant is the United States, with
much higher spending than all other OECD countries but lower life expectancy than the OECD average.
