II Workshop on Empirical Research in Economics of Education

The QURE Research Group and the CREIP Research Institute at the Rovira i Virgili University are pleased to announce the second edition of the Workshop on Empirical  Research in Economics of Education that will take place on Feb. 15-16, 2018 at URV. We are interested in innovative original empirical papers that cast some light in any relevant issue regarding the general field of economics of education. However, we priorize those linking school dropout, school performance and school achievement with the labour market. Papers must be empirical. Extended abstracts are also accepted, although we will give priority to full papers.

The conference will take place in Reus, an attractive town 10 minutes from Tarragona and about 60 minutes from Barcelona by train or car.

Registration fees will be of 250€. This fee includes accommodation for two nights, one dinner, coffee breaks and lunches.

Full papers and extended abstracts should be to send to the following email address (luis.diaz@urv.cat). Deadline for papers submission: Jan. 13, 2018.

Deadline for participant registration: Jan. 28, 2018.

Keynote speakers:

Sandra McNally (University of Surrey)

Hessel Oosterbeek (University of Amsterdam)
