Education
Education is one of the biggest factors in determining a person’s economic outcome. And the trajectory for high- or low-wage workers doesn’t begin in college, or even high school. Starting in preschool, the youngest learners are set on an educational path that can have a profound impact on their earning potential as adults. At ÿÈÕ³Ô¹Ï, researchers draw on their economic expertise to study how people invest in education, and how educational opportunities evolve due to policy and competition. ÿÈÕ³Ô¹Ï scholars also quantify the effects that education has on other important outcomes in developed and developing nations around the world.
