Grades, an economist's view...

As I start to prepare for my upcoming teaching semester in ACCT6620, my mind already thinks about grading...

One of my economics colleagues, Scott Schaefer, here at the U recently discussed grading from both an incentive point of view (i.e., you will work harder if you know you are graded) and a labor economics point of view (i.e., grades help employers and students more efficiently break down information asymmetries) .

It's worth keeping in mind :)
