Daily Recap – Friday, 26 August 2022

Today was the last day of #LINOecon in the Inselhalle, as we will head off to Mainau Island tomorrow, where we celebrate the final day of this eventful week. After a Partner Breakfast and a Morning Workout, the day went on with insightful lectures by several Laureates. Later, young economists and Laureates had the opportunity to interact even closer during informal Laureate Lunches and Science Walks. Once again, young economists presented their frontier research to the audience in Next Gen Economics sessions. Finally, our Bavarian Evening was a worthy end of the day, celebrating the cultural diversity of #LINOecon.

Josh Angrist @metrics52 explains causal effects of financial aid for students on college completion. Effect is largest for students with lower test scores: it makes them enroll in college which otherwise they wouldn't. Makes you rethink merit based tuition aid. @lindaunobel
