Abstract
Nelson and Lynch investigate whether instructors can improve their evaluation by students by giving higher grades and whether reductions in the real income of teachers lead to a deterioration of grading standards. In the process, the authors conclude from their data that simultaneous equation estimates are to be preferred to those obtained from a single equation model.Keywords
