Olivier De Groote

We are launching the call for papers for the successor of our yearly education workshop at TSE: the human capital conference (as we now also have a human capital center ;)).

I’m looking for a postdoc with strong skills in structural modeling and a passion for education economics to join us at our new TSE Human Capital Center. econjobmarket.org/positions/12...

🆕 RFBerlin Discussion Paper: @odegroote.bsky.social, @anaisfabre.bsky.social, Margaux Luflade and Arnaud Maurel study whether sequential assignment procedures in college and school admissions can mitigate inefficiencies in centralized allocation systems. www.rfberlin.com/network-pape...

New working paper out: Off-platform college admissions can undermine centralized systems, creating inefficiencies and justified envy. We show that sequential assignment helps—cutting dropouts by 5.4% and boosting welfare. Evidence from France's college matching data. drive.google.com/file/d/1m5OL...
