- summary: We study whether information frictions about the relative effectiveness of study methods distort students’ effort allocation. Standard models treat effort as a single input whose level, rather than composition, determines outcomes. We instead model effort as an allocation across methods with heterogeneous effectiveness. Combining panel surveys, administrative records, digital activity logs, and a randomized information intervention with over 2,000 undergraduates, we test whether imperfect inform… Source
