Abstract
In previous chapters we developed the basic model of an economic theory of learning. In this chapter we extended our discussion by applying that model to a recent study of the effects which proctoring has on the achievement level of economics students. We are able to show how our model can be useful in interpreting statistical results and how failure to consider student and faculty choice behavior can lead one into drawing unwarranted conclusions.
