Great new paper by @jenspeterthomsen.bsky.social and colleagues in SoE. An important contribution to a lively debate. Does all this welfare-state stuff in Scandinavia matter when it comes to intergenerational mobility in education. Apparently it does... Link: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

New Handbook chapter out on Field of Study choices together with Nicolaj Borgen. We discuss some recent findings and methodological developments. Main message: Field of study choice matters for labor market outcomes! Surprise surprise :-).

Congrats to Astrid Olsen. On Monday she successfully defended her PhD thesis "The Role of Career Guidance in Reducing Access to Higher Education". It was a privilege to advise her. Thankfully we will have the opportunity to continue working together in the EDUCHANGE (www.educhange.hi.is) project.

My workday took an unexpected turn today when I came across this great report from 1977. Now I am trying to find the data. They have grand-parents, IQ-Tests. Mental Health questions...

You are thinking about a catchy title for your next paper that involves some kind of choice. Try to avoid The Clash this time...

We are hiring two postdoctoral scholars in the ERC project EDUCHANGE in Iceland. The project is a large-scale cross-country experimental study which aims to analyze if social inequality in educational attainment can be reduced by providing students with targeted information and guidance.
