摘要

我们评估了轻触式干预是否能增加本科经济学专业的社会经济和种族多样性。我们随机为 2200 多名学生分配了以下信息：关于经济学专业的基本信息；基本信息与强调与该专业相关的高回报职业或经济回报的信息；或无信息。信息使第一代学生主修经济学的比例提高了五个百分点。这一效果足以扭转第一代学生在经济学专业上的差距。提示性证据表明，效果可能是由第一代学生驱动的，而这些学生并不是代表性不足的少数群体。

A simple nudge increases socioeconomic diversity in undergraduate Economics

We assess whether a light-touch intervention can increase socioeconomic and racial diversity in undergraduate Economics. We randomly assigned over 2200 students a message with basic information about the Economics major; the basic message combined with an emphasis on the rewarding careers or financial returns associated with the major; or no message. Messages increased the proportion of first generation students majoring in Economics by five percentage points. This effect size was sufficient to reverse the gap in Economics majors for first generation students. Suggestive evidence indicates the effects may be driven by first generation students who were not also underrepresented minorities.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
