About the Workshop |
|
We are happy to announce the IZA Workshop: Cognitive and Non-Cognitive Skills. The workshop will bring together leading scholars and young researchers pursuing research at the intersection of economics, psychology, and biology. Acknowledging the importance of interdisciplinary research for understanding the foundations and development of cognitive and non-cognitive skills, we invite contributions from various methodological backgrounds: theoretical contributions as well as empirical research using field data, experiments, or neuroeconomic methods. |
|
|
Topics of the workshop will include (but are not limited to):
Measurement of cognitive and non-cognitive skills
Skill formation during the life-cycle
Economic and social consequences of (non-) cognitive skills
Economic, biological, psychological and environmental determinants of skills
Policy interventions to enhance skill formation, particularly during early childhood |
|
|
A highlight of the meeting is the Keynote Lecture which will be held by James J. Heckman (University of Chicago and IZA). |

| |
Travel and Accommodation |

The conference and lodging will be free of charge for presenters, and we will reimburse travel expenses according to IZA travel guidelines. |
