Some information on the session logistics:
If not stated otherwise, the discussant is the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. (Exception: invited sessions)
Presenters should speak for no more than 20 minutes, and discussants should limit their remarks to no more than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be reserved for audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest following these guidelines also in the (less common) 3-paper sessions in a 2-hour slot, to allow participants to move between sessions. Discussants are encouraged to avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start a broader discussion with the audience.
Only registered participants can attend this conference. Further information available on the congress website https://www.iseg.ulisboa.pt/en/event/iipf/ .

Social Mobility and Higher Education: The Role of Elite Public Colleges 1: Paris School of Economics, France; 2: Nova School of Business How does higher education shape social mobility in countries where elite colleges are public and tuition-free? Using linked microdata spanning several decades, we follow Brazilian high school graduates through college and into the labor market to study income segregation, mobility, and the distributional incidence of public spending. We show that elite public colleges have relatively low mobility rates, despite high returns, because they enroll few disadvantaged students. Using college-level financial data, we document that per-student government transfers are much higher at elite publics, yielding a highly regressive pattern of public expenditure in higher education: the top 10% receive 6.75 times as much as the bottom 10%. Finally, exploiting differential exposure to a nationwide affirmative-action reform, we quantify causal effects on income composition in each college tier. We find that, in the absence of the policy, the top 20% would have increased its share of total government spending by 14%
