Development and History
Development and Economic History
Members of the Development and Economic History Research Group combine archival data, lab-in-the-field experiments, randomized controlled trials, text analysis, survey and secondary data along with theoretical tools to study issues in development and economic history. Faculty and students work in the field in South Asia, China and Africa as well as doing archival work in libraries across Europe and Asia.
Almost all faculty are members of CAGE in the economics department and some are also members of Warwick Interdisciplinary Centre for International Development (WICID). There is a regular weekly external seminar, two weekly internal workshops, and high quality research students. We also organise international conferences on campus, or in Venice.

CWIP (CAGE Work in Progress) Workshop - Subhasish Dey (Warwick)S2.79Title: BETWEEN TWO WORLDS: EDUCATION-OCCUPATION MISMATCH FOR SECOND-GENERATION IMMIGRANTS IN THE UK Authors Subhasish Dey, University of Warwick Mahima Kapoor, University of Warwick Anirban Mukherjee, University of Calcutta
Abstract: This study assesses the quality of occupations that second-generation immigrants are employed in relative to natives in the UK. Based on the concept of education-occupation mismatch, we investigate whether the utilization of workers’ skills is commensurate with those required under the job. Using the multinomial logistic regression model to fit data from the Understanding Society: UK Household Longitudinal Study, we show that second-generation immigrants have a higher probability of being over-educated than natives and evaluate the mechanisms driving the results. We further explore the presence of double penalty along the overlap of legal and social identities. The findings direct attention towards the unique context of second-generation immigrants and inform policy efforts. |
