of North Carolina (UNC) system President Erskine Bowles has proposed tying all future university funding
growth for the UNC system universities to freshman student retention benchmarks. We hope to learn from
this study, among other things, whether homework assignment increases (or decreases) student
retention. Principles of Microeconomics (Econ 2113) is a freshman/sophomore level class, hence it is
these students that President Bowles is targeting to be retained. In addition to student retention, this
study will shed light more broadly on student performance due to the assignment of homework beyond
the Economics department. Given that every department at East Carolina educates students, this study
on how homework affects student learning outcomes is of interest to every academic department at this
university., Research Development Award.
2009: RUPP, N. G., Estimating Treatment Effects on Academic Success in the Classroom, This study will
examine college student learning gains due to different pedagogical practices. Specifically, the
researchers will attempt to quantify the benefits acquired by students from completing homework problem
sets. The researchers will compare test performance for individuals required to turn in homework versus
scores for those who are not required to complete the homework set. The caveat encountered by
previous research in this area (Grodner and Grove, 2007) is that teachers have a reputation for assigning
(or not assigning) homework. Hence students likely self-select into courses based on their homework
preferences., College Research Award.
2008: RUPP, N. G., Do Carriers Internalize Congestion Costs? Empirical, Economists have long
suggested overhauling the existing U.S. airport landing/departure fees to reflect market valuations of
scarce runway capacity. Economists, however, do not agree on the optimal congestion-based pricing
scheme. While some researchers advocate for a uniform congestion fee regardless of a carrier's airport
market share, others suggest that airport tolls only reflect the congestion costs imposed on other carriers.
This project will use ten years of ontime performance data to empirically determine if carriers internalize
congestion costs. Preliminary results suggest that the answer to the internalization question depends
upon the flight delay measure used since highly concentrated airports have shorter excess travel times,
while the converse holds for departure and arrival delays., ECU - College Research Award.
