Offer Description - Work environment: Recent economic literature shows that deteriorating environmental conditions adversely affect students' performance at school. The project aims to explore the mechanisms by which these effects are transmitted (student absences, lower productivity of instruction time, etc.), the extent to which they are unevenly distributed in the population, and the extent to which they translate into long-term effects on school trajectories. To this end, the project intends to mobilize administrative data linking the educational trajectories of students in France with the environmental conditions to which they are exposed. The project will use modern micro-econometric methods to assess the causal impact of these conditions on different labor market outcomes.
- Main mission: The postdoc's main mission will be to work with the laboratory's research team on one or more research paper projects aimed at estimating the causal impact of environmental conditions (temperature, pollution) on students' educational trajectories.
- Activities: Management, organization and matching of collected data; descriptive and exploratory statistical analyses; econometric analyses.
