The determinants of economic opportunity and intergenerational mobility are cross-cutting. This conference will bring together scholars with different perspectives on economic mobility, focusing specifically on its intersections with education, housing, and labor markets.

OI will cover travel and hotel for the presenters of accepted papers. Jamie Fogel, Matthew Staiger, Michael Stepner, and Winnie van Dijk are organizing the conference.
