CAM4transfo

My research group CAM4transfo investigates how Curricula, Access to higher education, and (regional) Mobility affect higher education participation and entry into the labor market during times of major transformational change. The group's goal is to develop a deep understanding of the interplay between the decision-making processes of young adults and the institutional framework of the higher education system. 

CAM4transfo operates at the intersection of education and labor economics, with a strong methodological focus on computational approaches and artificial intelligence. Methodologically, we work with large-scale data from both Germany and the United Kingdom, including administrative register data as well as unstructured text data. A central project within the group involves the design and implementation of a chatbot-based field experiment aimed at improving study guidance for high school graduates. This experiment not only offers targeted support to students but also enables us to collect unique process-generated data to analyze information asymmetries and behavioral patterns at the transition from school to higher education.

In addition, accompanying courses in the Economics of Education are offered each summer term, and a dialogue is maintained with educational practitioners, policymakers, and the academic community.
