Epper, Thomas; Ibsen, Kristoffer Holst Kroustrup; Koch, … - 2026

University dropout is costly, making it a policy priority to identify factors that predict dropout. Using a survey experiment with incoming first-year students linked to long-run administrative outcomes, we assess which information improves dropout prediction beyond standard university records....

Expertise and prediction accuracy

Grewenig, Elisabeth; Gründler, Klaus; Lergetporer, Philipp - 2026

Public support for policy interventions depends on citizens' beliefs about their likely effects. We examine how individuals form such beliefs by studying their predictions of experimental outcomes in a policy-relevant setting, and why their predictions differ from expert benchmarks. We elicit...
