【講座摘要】Goal setting may be a low-cost, scalable and logistically simple commitment device to help people self-regulate their behavior, and increase their effort and consequently improve their performance. By conducting a field experiment in college physical training course, we investigate the effects of goal setting and goal design features on effort provision in training and tests and on their performance. We exogenously vary whether or not a goal is set and whether or not the goal is set based on accurately knowing one’s ability. We find that when students know their precise ability, goal setting significantly raises test performance. Goal setting also significantly raises test effort, especially when students do not know their precise ability.? ? ? ? ??
