We are launching the call for papers for the successor of our yearly education workshop at TSE: the human capital conference (as we now also have a human capital center ;)).

🆕 RFBerlin Discussion Paper: @odegroote.bsky.social, @anaisfabre.bsky.social, Margaux Luflade and Arnaud Maurel study whether sequential assignment procedures in college and school admissions can mitigate inefficiencies in centralized allocation systems. www.rfberlin.com/network-pape...

New working paper out: Off-platform college admissions can undermine centralized systems, creating inefficiencies and justified envy. We show that sequential assignment helps—cutting dropouts by 5.4% and boosting welfare. Evidence from France's college matching data. drive.google.com/file/d/1m5OL...

New working paper out! We empirically study improved matching mechanisms for day care, focusing on disadvantaged families (who benefit most). Affirmative action boosts their participation but also increases segregation. #EconSky
