摘要

当随机给贫困学生一个经济上突出的数学考试时，他们的表现会更差。对于社会经济指标低于全国中位数的学生，货币主题问题的比例每增加10个百分点，考试成绩就会下降0.026个标准差，约占其成绩差距的6%。使用问题层面的数据，我通过比较在货币和高度相似的非货币问题上的表现，确认了财务显著性的作用。利用问题的随机排序，我确定了对后续问题的影响，提供了证据，证明贫困的注意力捕获效应会影响实验环境之外的政策相关结果。(凝胶g53, i21, i24, i32, j13, o15)

Fictional Money, Real Costs: Impacts of Financial Salience on Disadvantaged Students

Disadvantaged students perform differentially worse when randomly given a financially salient mathematics exam. For students with socioeconomic indicators below the national median, a 10 percentage point increase in the share of monetary themed questions depresses exam performance by 0.026 standard deviations, about 6 percent of their performance gap. Using question-level data, I confirm the role of financial salience by comparing performance on monetary and highly similar non-monetary questions. Leveraging the randomized ordering of questions, I identify an effect on subsequent questions, providing evidence that the attention capture effects of poverty affect policy relevant outcomes outside of experimental settings.
