Does Lowering Entry Costs to Economics for Underrepresented Students Affect Outcomes? Preliminary Experimental Evidence

What it is

Jesse Buchsbaum, Michael Greenstone and Olga Rostapshova test whether making it easier to start studying economics changes outcomes for underrepresented students (AEA Papers and Proceedings, May 2026).

Why I recommend it

The authors call this preliminary evidence, so the findings may change as more results come in.
