We are very pleased to welcome Professor Stefania PAREDES FUENTES, University of Warwick, UK:
Who Studies Economics?
(This work is in progress)
Abstract
In this study, we offer a broader picture of diversity among UK economic students. We look at socio-economic and geographical characteristics of the UK undergraduate student population and consider how these intersects with more common studied demographics characteristics such as gender, ethnicity and race. We then look at how students are distributed among the UK higher education institutions, and student performance across these institutions. We finally provide an analysis of the awarding gaps among the different type of institutions (Russell Group vs non-Russell Group) that considers this more multidimensional diversity.
The seminar will be held in room M 3250 (Uni Mail). For those of you who are unable to attend in person, there will also be the option to follow the seminar on Zoom, but please use this option only if you cannot come:
