Applied Economics: Labour, Education and Health Research Group
Our research uses applied economics to address critical policy challenges in labour markets, education, crime, and public health.
About our group
We want to investigate and uncover causal relationships that can provide deeper insights into the effects of policy changes.
Our research aims to provide evidence that can guide the development and refinement of policies to address key socio-economic issues.
By combining survey and administrative data, our members use robust quasi-experimental and experimental methods to assess the impact of policy interventions.
