Dickerson, Andy; McDool, Emily; Morris, Damon – Education Economics, 2023
We use sequence analysis to compare the different trajectories that individuals take through the education system and into work and identify the characteristics that could be used to target those who are at most risk of poorer labour market outcomes. As well as age 16 exam performance, we find that parental advice, aspirations, and attitudes…

Because the quality of students who join Ph.D. programs significantly impacts the outcome of Ph.D. training, students' career choices at this initial stage--whether to proceed to Ph.D. or not--are of crucial interest. This study…

The 203 study…

The notion of compensation generates criticism, especially in the U.S. around unpaid internships in particular -- the country's principal form of work-integrated learning (WIL). The distinction between unpaid and paid internships remains understudied and therefore, serves as the primary motivator to compare students' perceptions of unpaid and paid…
