College applicants often make dominated choices even when a strategically simple mechanism such as deferred acceptance is in place. We study Hungarian college admissions, where deferred acceptance is used, and still many college applicants make revealed dominated choices: they forgo the free opportunity to receive a tuition waiver. Using two empirical strategies, we show that when admission with a tuition waiver becomes more selective, applicants make more revealed dominated choices. Our results suggest that dominated choices respond to economic incentives.

延期录取机制下的主导选择：录取选择性的影响

即使采用了延迟录取等策略上简单的机制，大学申请者也常常会做出主导选择。我们研究了采用延期录取的匈牙利大学招生，仍然有许多大学申请者做出了显性主导选择：他们放弃了获得学费减免的免费机会。使用两种实证策略，我们表明，当学费减免入学变得更具选择性时，申请人会做出更多显性主导选择。我们的结果表明，主导选择会对经济激励做出反应。
