摘要

学术作弊是高等教育中一个令人担忧的现象，因为它破坏了成绩和学位完成情况作为学术能力和技能积累信号的价值。本研究利用美国空军学院的行政数据来估算同学荣誉感化的因果效应。通过有条件的随机中队分配，我发现在一个中队中有更多经历过留校察看的同龄人的学生，他们自己最终受到留校察看处分的可能性较小。对于大学准备不足的学生来说，荣誉留校察看的减少幅度最大。这些结果表明，提高对荣誉留校察看惩罚的认识和重视，可以阻止高等教育中的学术作弊行为。

Peer effects and honor probation: Evidence from USAFA

Academic cheating is a troubling phenomenon in higher education because it undermines the value of grades and degree completion as a signal of academic ability and skills accumulated. This study uses administrative data from the United States Air Force Academy to estimate the causal effect of honor probation of one’s peers. Using conditionally random squadron assignment, I find that students in a squadron with more peers that have experienced honor probation are less likely to end up on honor probation themselves. This decrease in honor probation is highest for students with low college preparation. These results suggest that increased awareness and salience of punishment for honor probation may discourage academic cheating in higher education.
