Learning about Academic Ability and the College Dropout Decision (2009, unknown): “As one example, our finding that students are, on average, substantially overoptimistic about grade performance at the time of entrance has a direct bearing on conclusions about the option value of schooling (Manski 1989; Altonji 1993; Cunha et al. 2005; Stange 2012).”
