What will I learn?
You will build a rigorous foundation in economic theory as it applies to education, covering human capital, production functions, and market failure. You will learn to analyse how schools are financed, how funding gaps affect student outcomes, and how to design more equitable allocation systems. The course covers teacher labour markets, cost-effectiveness analysis, and behavioural economics in educational decision-making. You will also develop quantitative skills in regression analysis and causal inference using real education datasets. By the end, you will be able to evaluate education policies, produce cost-benefit analyses, and communicate economic findings to diverse stakeholders.
