ECONOMICS AND FINANCE OF EDUCATION SIG

WELCOME TO THE ECONOMICS AND FINANCE OF EDUCATION SIG!

SIG DESCRIPTION

The Economics and Finance of Education SIG (EFE-SIG) focuses on investigating, conceptualizing, and theorizing the links between Economics and Finance of Education Policies. The EFE-SIG offers a new opportunity for scholars interested in the following topics:· 

  • Redistribution, political philosophy, economics, and financing schooling systems
  • International aid and mechanisms of redistribution
  • Education finance, economics, and poverty reduction
  • Financing education and theories of justice
  • Theories of learning, knowledge and knowledge economics
  • School finance, adequacy, and equity in resource allocation
  • Equality of Educational Opportunity and its effect on society.
  • Teachers’ effectiveness, incentives and rewards
  • Charter schools and school based management
  • Higher education finance and learning networks
  • Early childhood finance
  • Special education finance
  • State competitiveness, social cohesiveness and mechanisms of reallocation

The EFE-SIG is important as it suggests a unique perspective. We aim to contribute to the perception of Economics and Finance of Education as a global issue and not just a national issue. In addition, we highlight the importance of the EFE-SIG, as currently Education Finance issues are rarely addressed from the perspective of Comparative Education.
