Can higher education policy boost social mobility? Evidence from an empirical matching model

05 May 2022, 15:00 – 16:00

Dr Jack Britton

Reader of Economics

University of York

His research is primarily focussed on the economics of education, including teacher pay, school effectiveness, student loan design and the returns to higher education. On the latter, he has led a large programme of work for the Department for Education using the new Longitudinal Educational Outcomes (LEO) dataset to look at how returns vary by institution attended, subject studied and by individual background characteristics. More recent work has focussed on how higher education policy can be used to promote social mobility more effectively. Jack is also an Associate Director at the Institute for Fiscal Studies.
