Honest Grading, Grade Inflation, and Reputation [PDF]
CESifo Economic Studies, 2012 When students receive better grades without any corresponding increase in ability, this is called grade inflation. Conventional wisdom says that such grade inflation is unavoidable since it is essentially costless to award good grades. In this article, we point out an effect driving into the opposite direction: Grade inflation is not actually costless,
