chapter 1 behavioral Economics of Education progress and possibilities
Handbook of the Economics of Education, 2016Co-Authors: Adam M. Lavecchia, H. Liu, Philip OreopoulosAbstract:Behavioral Economics attempts to integrate insights from psychology, neuroscience, and sociology in order to better predict individual outcomes and develop more effective policy. While the field has been successfully applied to many areas, Education has, so far, received less attention — a surprising oversight, given the field's key interest in long-run decision making and the propensity of youth to make poor long-run decisions. In this chapter, we review the emerging literature on the behavioral Economics of Education. We first develop a general framework for thinking about why youth and their parents might not always take full advantage of Education opportunities. We then discuss how these behavioral barriers may be preventing some students from improving their long-run welfare. We evaluate the recent but rapidly growing efforts to develop policies that mitigate these barriers, many of which have been examined in experimental settings. Finally, we discuss future prospects for research in this emerging field.

Developments in Economics of Education research
Labour Economics, 2014Co-Authors: Stephen MachinAbstract:The significant upsurge in Economics of Education research that has occurred over the last 10 to 15years is discussed, together with reasons as to why. Education impacting more on economic outcomes, methodological innovations, access to rich new data sources and an increased demand for evidence based Education policy are highlighted. The paper concludes that because these are the factors that have driven the increased volume of research, the increased interest is not a research fad, nor a transitory blip, but an area producing work often of high relevance to Education policy and seems likely to be sustained for some time to come.

Economics of Education Research and Its Role in the Making of Education Policy
Fiscal Studies, 2014Co-Authors: Stephen MachinAbstract:This paper is based on my 2013 IFS Annual Lecture and it explores the reasons for the substantial interest that economists currently have in Education research. To do so, it sets the Economics of Education field in its historical context, and explores a number of reasons why the research area has grown by so much in recent years. The role of economic research in the making of Education policy has also increased through time, for some of the same reasons, and this has played a significant part in the use of evidence-based policy in a range of areas of Education.

Economics of Education research: a review and future prospects
Oxford Review of Education, 2009Co-Authors: Lorraine Dearden, Stephen Machin, Anna VignolesAbstract:In this paper we offer an appraisal of the Economics of Education research area, charting its history as a field and discussing the ways in which economists have contributed both to Education research and to Education policy-making. In particular, we highlight the theoretical and methodological contributions that economists have made to the field of Education during the last 50 years. Despite the success of the Economics of Education as a field of inquiry, we argue that some of the contributions made by economists could be limited if the Economics of Education is seen as quite distinct from the other disciplines working in the field of Education. In these areas of common interest, economists need to work side by side with the other major disciplines in the field of Education if their contribution to the field is to be maximised, particularly in terms of applying improved methodology. We conclude that the study of Education acquisition and its economic and social impact in the Economics of Education research area is very likely to remain a fertile research ground. Acknowledgements

the behavioral Economics of Education new directions for research
Educational Researcher, 2011Co-Authors: Huriya JabbarAbstract:Over the past several decades, researchers have used Economics to understand a number of issues in Education policy. This article argues that some Education researchers have defined Economics too narrowly, neglecting several areas of Economics research that cut across disciplinary boundaries. One subdiscipline of Economics that might be of use in Education, but which has not been applied much to it, is behavioral Economics, which incorporates psychological knowledge about human behavior to enhance and extend economic models of decision making. This article reviews some of the behavioral concepts in Economics that are most likely to inform Education research and policy—prospect theory, framing effects, status quo bias, paradox of choice, and intrinsic motivation—and suggests directions for further research.
