Optimal policy and mechanism design in education and labour markets

该项目旨在调查教育和劳动力市场政策的最佳设计和效率影响，例如学校分配，大学入学，雇用和组织内晋升的差别待遇。该项目期望利用信息经济学和机制设计的技术开发新的公共政策理论模型。这一项目的预期成果包括提高设计政策的能力和评估政策效率的新概念框架。这将使决策者和组织能够执行更有效的政策，并为关于优惠待遇、性别平等政策和其他教育和劳动力市场政策的优点的公共辩论提供信息。

This project aims to investigate the optimal design and efficiency implications of education and labour market policies such as differential treatment in school assignment, university admissions, hiring and promotions within organisations. The project expects to develop novel theoretical models of public policy using techniques from information economics and mechanism design. The expected outcomes of this project include an enhanced capacity to design policies and a new conceptual framework to assess their efficiency. This should enable policymakers and organisations to implement more efficient policies, and inform public debates on the merits of preferential treatment, gender equity policies and other education and labour market policies.
