About the Workshop
The aim of the workshop is to bring together about 25 researchers working on the economics of education discussing themes of:
- Determinants of skill formation
- Changing returns to education
- Technological change, digitization and education
- Inputs into educational production
- Efficiency of interventions
- Unintended policy consequences
We specifically encourage but do not exclusively focus on submissions that highlight the interplay between education system and labor market against the background of a changing world of work.
The keynote lecture will be given by Prof. John N. Friedman (Brown University).
