This is a fetch variable, which includes everything from the foregone wage the student could have earned working, to the utility she would get out of spending the hour outside in the park, drinking coffee, or leisure in general. While the first hour a student puts into learning or working on an assignment yields very large gains in understanding and progress, the th hour usually still adds some more understanding and progress, but far less than the first one.
Imagine a student who starts learning for an exam. Sometimes the first day of learning will already suffice to merely pass the exam. If the student wants to get a good grade however, she has to invest more time. The student has to be perfectly prepared on every single task which can be asked of him, has to be able to connect all the single dots of the course to see and understand the bigger picture. The same is true for an assignment: To put together an assignment which will merely pass may take only two or three days, even less, depending on the length.
To score a higher grade, the assignment has to be more elaborate, all the details have to be in the right place and connected to each other. The cost function is assumed to be linear for simplicity. However, this is not an unrealistic assumption: Every hour the students spends on the assignment yields the same opportunity costs, for every hour he works he loses one hour of leisure. One could argue that people get fed up with a single task if they have to spend an enormous amount of time on it.
At one point the student just wants to get it over with, which would mean marginal costs would be positive and rising in effort. On the other hand, the more knowledge one gains about a specific topic, the more interesting it gets. The more insight one gains, the easier it is to work out a different perspective, a new angle on how to approach the problem.
This would be an argument for positive but decreasing marginal costs in effort. Hmm so I have also looked it up in Ludwig site. Could anyone help me out? Tae-Bbong-Ea said:.
