Room: T30
Floor: ground
Short summary: The contributions explore, using innovative or advanced methodological approaches (propensity score analysis based on generalized boosted models, weighted networks, and static models of strategic interactions), the effect of territorial, socioeconomic conditions and peers in determining inequalities in higher education outcomes, focusing on gender differences and preferences for stem and non-stem disciplines. Different aspects related to educational outcome indicators are investigated: the transition from high school to university, students’ mobility choices in university selection, participation in international mobility programs.
