Katharina Wedel

I am a doctoral student at the ifo institute for the Economics of Education (Munich). After graduating from Lund University, Sweden, with a Master in Economics, I started my PhD studies in July 2019. My main interests are the economics of education and labor economics. I work on a project evaluating the effectiveness of a mentoring program for students in Germany. Besides, I examine the relation between instruction time, teacher qualifications and student achievement in an international context.
