June 20–21, 2023

Thanks to all of you who has shown a great interest in our upcoming conference and has submitted abstracts and papers. The organizers expect to communicate the acceptance decisions by March 31. 

The functioning of the education system and the potential for policies to level the playing field are fundamental research questions in the economics of education. This conference aims at bringing together leading scholars in the field to provide better foundations for education policy. Important questions include, e.g., the drivers and consequences of school segregation, the implications of school choice and school governance, and the effects of school resources and teacher training.

Keynote speakers

David Figlio

Professor of Economics and provost at Rochester University

The academic committee consists of Anna Sjögren, Björn Öckert and Helena Holmlund at IFAU. Accommodation is provided at Krusenberg.
