论文摘要
经验转移学生在从社区大学到大学的旅程时遇到的经验类似于购买二手车的旅程。我们通过展示了二手车市场中的信息不对称性如何在转学学生市场中发生，在这两种情况下都会产生效率低下的市场，从而增加了不良选择的机会。我们诊断出导致转移效率低下的潜在条件，将其确定为高等教育系统中的结构性不平等。最后，提供有关转移过程中信息不对称的建议，这将为转学学生带来更好的结果。
The experience transfer students encounter as they navigate their journeys from community college to university is similar to that of buying a used car. We demonstrate this by showing how the information asymmetry in the market for used cars also occurs in the market for transfer students, producing inefficient markets in both cases, thereby increasing the chances of adverse selection. We diagnose the underlying conditions that produce transfer inefficiencies, identifying them as a structural inequity within the system of higher education. Finally, recommendations for alleviating information asymmetry in transfer processes, that would lead to better outcomes for transfer students, are provided.
