About the Workshop |
Most empirical research on skills (cognitive and non-cognitive) and preferences has largely relied on data from high-income, industrialized countries. There is, however, a growing literature that extends this line of research to post-transition and emerging economies, which may be of particular scientific interest because it gives the opportunity to study contexts with a much wider variability of conditions. |
|
Therefore, we are very pleased to announce the Third IZA - Higher School of Economics Workshop on the formation of skills and preferences and their impact on the labor market in post-transition and emerging economies. The aim of the workshop is to bring together a number of junior and senior researchers to discuss their recent empirical and experimental studies on the above broad theme. |
|
We strive for a regional balance regarding the presented research. Hence, we invite research from China, Central Asia, Latin America, North Africa, the post-Soviet region and Central and Eastern Europe. |
|
Topics of the workshop will include (but are not limited to):
- The formation of cognitive and non-cognitive skills in early childhood and adolescence
- Measurement of preferences and skills using survey instruments and experiments
- Malleability of preferences and cognitive and non-cognitive skills, and their rank order stability
- Preferences and skills as driving factors of selection into labor market states and geographic mobility
- Discrimination in labor markets
- Long-term effects of educational interventions targeted at cognitive and non-cognitive skills
