Title: A Case for Tiered School Systems
Abstract: We study a mechanism design problem addressing simultaneously how students should be grouped and graded. We argue that the effort-maximizing school systems exhibit coarse stratification and more lenient grading at the top-tier schools than at the bottom-tier schools. Our study contributes to the ongoing policy debate on school tracking.
