| Abstract: | The effects of incentive mechanisms and of the competitive environment on the interaction between schools and students are studied here in a set-up where the students' educational attainment depends on their peer group, on their effort, and on the quality of the school's teaching. It is shown that increasing the power of the incentive scheme and the effectiveness of competition may have the counterintuitive effect of lowering the students' effort. |
