DESCRIPTION:Administrative data reveal that Romanian households could choos
 e schools with 1 s.d. worth of additional value added. Why do households le
 ave value added “on the table”? We study two possibilities: households 
 may lack information about value added\, or they may have preferences for o
 ther school traits. First\, we elicit households’ beliefs about the value
  added of the schools in their town. These beliefs explain less than one fi
 fth of the variation in measured value added. We then inform randomly selec
 ted households about schools’ value added. This improves the accuracy of 
 their beliefs and leads them to choose higher value added schools. The effe
 ct is stronger for low-achieving students and for students not admitted to 
 their top two choices. Finally\, we use a discrete choice model to estimate
  households’ preferences for school attributes (as they perceive them). H
 ouseholds have strong preferences for peer quality and curriculum in additi
 on to value added. Thus\, households would not “max out” on value added
  even under perfect information: this only eliminates one quarter of the va
 lue added households leave unexploited.\\n\\nContact: Timothée Demont : t
