More specifically, the increased violence is explained by electoral constituencies with significant tribal populations but no…
The price of forced attendance
We draw on a discontinuity at a large university, wherein second‐year students with a low first‐year grade point average are allocated to a full year of forced, frequent, and regular attendance, to estimate the causal effect of additional structure on academic performance.
