El consumo de café reduce las notas. Este efecto se explica por estudiantes que no están acostumbrados a tomar café y que reportan sentirse nerviosos en pruebas similares. Consumidores regulares de café no parecen beneficiarse o perder por el consumo de café excepto si no consumieron café el día del examen (en cuyo caso tienen peores notas, resultado que es consistente con la hipótesis de la reversión de la abstinencia.29 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 17 Febrero de 2018https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/016194.htmlDoping to underperform: the impact of coffee consumption on test scoresDopaje para perder: el impacto del consumo de café sobre las notas académicas.Documento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPCaffeineTest-ScoresCafeína - Efectos fisiológicos - Estudio de casosEstudiantes - Calificación - Estudio de casosCafé - Consumo - Métodos estadísticosA22, I12, I20Facultad de EconomíaPublicationORIGINALdcede2018-17.pdfdcede2018-17.pdfapplication/pdf647201https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/8dd529b3-52fc-4271-9a0b-b71dce4a9738/downloadc489d9ae6075900c14e31d34dc979e94MD51TEXTdcede2018-17.pdf.txtdcede2018-17.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain45917https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/38cb55f1-445b-4358-b065-cb286eeae0f2/downloadcda63d337a70067683f10114512134a8MD54THUMBNAILdcede2018-17.pdf.jpgdcede2018-17.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg11412https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/1cc4b5f1-2a63-4234-b0a3-672a64ca1291/downloada3f69b6c7ab86dc35fb459edef6bd19dMD551992/7861oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/78612024-06-04 15:42:13.646http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co
