Paul Bingley

Copenhagen Education Network

A workshop series on the economics of education, hosted in turn by the institutions that take part.

The series began in May 2014 as a monthly seminar on a single paper, moving between SFI, Copenhagen Business School and the University of Copenhagen, and ran that way for fourteen meetings into December 2015. Two larger workshops in October 2014 and October 2015 did the same job on a bigger scale, and from February 2016 the workshops were numbered and became the series. Twenty-eight have been held, two or three a year, with a day of papers from the member institutions around an invited keynote.

Who Presents

A hundred and fifty-seven people have presented at least once. Twenty-one have presented three times or more, and they are the figure below. The names and titles were transcribed from the thirty final programmes and the fourteen seminar announcements, so a count is an appearance on a programme: a keynote and an idea session both count, a talk dropped after the programme went out is not tracked, and a co-author who did not present is not counted.
