Research Objectives
The objective of this research project is to extend the frontier of research
on the economics of education and education policy in European countries.
It has the following objectives:
It will pull together theoretical and empirical concepts to provide new cross-country evidence on connections between education and family income, and on questions to do with widening access in higher education.
It will result in an improved knowledge of what does (and what does not) improve pupil performance whilst at school, and on the effectiveness of teachers in influencing this in different countries.
It will also shed some light on the relative performance of boys and girls at different stages of the education process, and on how this has been altering through time.
Finally, a theme running through all the work will concern the ways in which institutional differences in education systems affect the observed results.
