Grade Divergence as a Market Outcome.
Freeman, Donald G.
Journal of Economic Education, v30 n4 p344-51 Fall 1999
Offers an economics-based explanation for grade divergence, hypothesizing that departments manage enrollments by "pricing" their courses with grading standards commensurate with the market benefits of their courses as measured by expected incomes. Analyzes grade divergence using a survey of college graduates by the National Center for Education Statistics. (CMK)
