Thanks to the Stone Centre at UCL for funding this conference, which I had the pleasure to co-organise with the fantastic Anaïs Fabre Pedro Carneiro and Camille Terrier.

New results from our study of the long-term impacts of affirmative action in college admissions (with Michela Carlana and Enrico Miglino), using Chile’s PACE program. How far down the academic achievement distribution can you go while still benefitting the students you target?




What a pleasure to teach in the The Econometric Society summer school in structural dynamic econometrics, and in such great company! All lectures will be on YouTube soon. dseconf.org/dse2025course-…
