Econometrics and Labour
The Econometrics and Labour Research Group covers a wide number of topics within the areas of modern econometric theory and applications, as well as labour economics. On the econometrics side, the research interests include: the econometrics of networks, panel data econometrics, macroeconometrics and financial econometrics. On the labour side, the group is interested in, among other topics, the economics of education, gender economics, ethnic discrimination, personnel economics, crime, technology and innovation, job search, human capital, and happiness.
The group organises an econometrics seminar with external speakers on Wednesday at 2pm, which gathers around ten times a year. The group also participates in the CAGE seminar in applied economics, which runs weekly on Tuesday at 4pm. Students and faculty of the group present their work in progress in two brown bag seminars which run weekly on Tuesday and Wednesday at 1pm. The group also co-organises annual workshops, such as the Warwick Applied Workshop (in June), which aims to gather young talented researchers in all fields of applied microeconomics, and the Econometrics Workshop, a one-day event coupled with an econometrics masterclass.

CAGE-AMES Workshop - Maggie Fok (PhD)Cowling Room, S2.77Title: Macroeconomic crises and cross-country achievement gap Abstract: This paper studies the impact of economic crises during childhood on academic achievement across countries. Current literature focusses on the consequences of a specific economic crisis in one country on long-term educational attainment and labour market outcomes. This paper contributes to the study on economic shocks and human capital accumulation by extending to both global and country-specific crises and conducting a cross-country comparison. Second, in order to fully describe the different experiences of crises by students, it analyses the impact of economic crises from four dimensions based on the length, number and age of exposure rather than the mere occurrence of the events. I use 2003-2015 PISA datasets for students’ demographics, family and school characteristics. The Global Crises Data by Harvard Business School is used to generate four measures for economic crises. Preliminary results show that total years of exposure is the most significant element that explains the achievement gap and the effect of the age of exposure is insignificant. Students of both genders have lower reading, mathematics and science test scores for longer exposure to crises, but females’ scores are 1.2-2.5 points lower than males’. Native and immigrant students suffer lower scores from longer period of crises experienced. While natives have smaller drop in reading score, their performances in mathematics and science are worse than immigrants. |
