ifo Center for the Economics of Education

How do changes in the level of education come about and how do they affect economic development? The Center for Educational Economics researches these questions. Contributions and policy recommendations are developed on the basis of scientific findings. They are intended to contribute to enabling people to participate more strongly in the opportunities offered by an open society, to survive in international competition and to exploit their opportunities for greater prosperity.
