| Tiivistelmä: | This article investigates a randomized field experiment in which first-year university students could earn financial rewards for passing all first-year requirements within one year. Financial incentives seem to have positive impact on achievement of high-ability students, whereas they have a negative effect on results of low-ability students. After three years these effects have picked up, indicating dynamic spillovers. The negative effects for less-able students are consistent with results from psychology and behavioral economics showing that external rewards might be detrimental for intrinsic motivation. |
