A college athletics recruiting game to teach the economics of rent-seeking

The authors of this article describe an adaptation of the rent-seeking game by Goeree and Holt (1999) to the recruiting of athletes by NCAA Division I football and basketball teams. Students engage in an effort-based lottery, i.e., recruiting to sign a blue-chip prospect. The winner gets the prize—the player's marginal revenue product in excess of his grant in aid. Students recruit in three scenarios: by recruiting legally, by recruiting legally or with illegal bribes, and by offering wages to athletes in an auction. The authors demonstrate the game's use in a principles course, but it is easily adaptable to other courses. To aid instructors unfamiliar with sports and NCAA recruiting, they include a comprehensive lesson plan with suggested readings and multimedia.

论大学英语听力教学中教师的支架作用

在以建构主义学习理论为指导的大学英语听力教学中,教师应通过构建接收支架、转换支架和产品支架,帮助学生建立最近发展区,提高听力教学效果。     

建构主义理论在跨文化交际能力培养中的作用

建构主义理论强调以学生为中心,强调学生对知识的主动探索、主动发现和对所学知识意义的主动构建。我国非英语专业大学生的跨文化交际能力培养应以建构主义为指导,采用抛锚式教学模式,注重情境创设,开展自主学习和协作学习,重视效果评价。     

引导学生兴趣,创建英语课堂氛围

大学英语课堂语言环境对学生的学习心理有着重要的影响,英语学习环境影响学生的学习动机,是决定学生学习效果的一个重要因素。通过有意识地对大学英语课堂上语言环境的创设,转变教师与学生在课堂上的地位与角色,有助于正确引导学生学习兴趣,潜移默化地改变学生的学习动机,能有效地实现课堂教学目标。

Barter Trading as a Microeconomics Teaching Device

Karpoff reports on a “barter trading game” in which students exchanged real goods over a period of seven weeks with different market constraints imposed each week. Student comments about the exercise were favorable.     

Comment

How well does competitive theory explain the outcome in experimental markets. The authors examined the results of a large number of classroom trading experiments that used a pit-trading design found in Experiments with Economic Principles, an introductory economics textbook by Bergstrom and Miller. They compared experimental outcomes with predictions of competitive-equilibrium theory and with those of a simple profit-splitting theory. Neither theory was entirely successful in explaining the data, although in the first rounds of trading there was significant profit splitting and, as traders became more experienced, outcomes were closer to those predicted by competitive theory.     

Using a Simple Contest to Illustrate Mechanism Design

This article describes a simple classroom activity that illustrates how economic theory can be used for mechanism design. The rules for a set of contests are presented; the results typically obtained from these contests illustrate how the prize structure can be manipulated in order to produce a particular outcome. Specifically, this activity is designed to show how changing the prize structure can impact both the contestants’ average efforts and the effort level of the hardest-working contestant. The activity can be run in a 50-minute class, has instructions that fit on a single piece of paper, and, although it can be run in large classes, requires only six students.
