Leuven Economics of Education Research (LEER)
The 12th edition of the LEER conference seeks to explore the use of economic and econometric techniques to study educational issues.
March 25-26, 2027, KU Leuven (Belgium)
Despite substantial investments, education quality in various EU countries has stalled or worsened, disproportionately affecting marginalised populations. This jeopardises economic growth and social progress, underscoring the need for efficient and impactful educational policies.
We invite the submission of original research from colleagues working in the broad area of education economics. We especially welcome research which applies identification strategies as randomized controlled trials, difference-in-differences, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity, static and dynamic choice modeling, (non-)parametric frontier models and structural equations. Both macro and micro-economic topics are of interest to this conference.
The conference is organised by Leuven Economics of Education Research (LEER), a research centre of the Faculty of Economics and Business at KU Leuven. The programme will feature keynote lectures by Petter Lundborg (Lund University), Michela Tincani (University College London), and Ludger Woessmann (University of Munich), as well as a policy round table with representatives from academia and policymaking.
Researchers are invited to submit a structured abstract of 200-300 words no later than January 16, 2027. Authors will be notified of acceptance by January 26, 2027.
In collaboration with EFFEct, funded by the European Union (Horizon Europe framework, Grant Number 101129146).
