  • 2016/05: Returns to ICT skills

    Oliver Falck, Alexandra Heimisch, Simon Wiederhold

    How important is mastering information and communication technologies (ICT) in modern labor markets? We present the first evidence on this question, drawing on unique data that provide internationally comparable information on ICT skills in 19 countries. Our identification strategy relies on the idea that Internet access is important in the...

    2016/03: Education, age and skills: an analysis using the PIAAC survey

    Jorge Calero, Inés P. Murillo Huertas, Josep Lluís Raymond Bara

We estimate a model that relates numeracy and...

In this paper we use a quasiexperimental approach in order to evaluate the effect of attending a Spanish publicly subsidised private school on some of the educational...

    2015/36: Is there real freedom of school choice? An analysis from Chile

    Mauro Mediavilla, Adrián Zancajo

    Between 1981 and 1990, Chile began to implement an education reform based on school choice and a financing system through vouchers. In theory, the system ensures complete freedom of choice of school by families. This paper attempts to identify the existence of factors that conditioned the enrolment process in the...

    2015/33: Decentralisation and school autonomy impact on the quality of education: the case of two MENA countries

    Josep-Oriol Escardíbul, Nehal Helmy

We analyse the effects of decentralisation and school autonomy on the quality of education in two MENA countries (Jordan and Tunisia), by using the OECD PISA 2009 database. Results...
