Accepting Postgraduate Research Students

PhD projects

1. Formation of, and returns to, general and specific human capital.
2. Labour market returns to specific features of educational curricula or education systems.
3. Horizontal education-occupation mismatch, or mismatch between individual comparative advantage and occupation tasks.
4. I am also happy to supervise students who are working with, or have recently worked with, education or development organisations, and wish to carry out doctoral-level research which includes impact evaluations of ongoing projects or interventions. I am open to discussing projects of this type around a broader range of topics including, but not limited to, education.
