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/ .

School Start Age and Long-Term Outcomes: Evidence from Canada 1: Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada; 2: University of Toronto, Canada We estimate the causal effect of school entry age on outcomes across three time horizons. We find that entry age raises grade 4 test scores by 0.029 standard deviations per month, which attenuates to 21 per cent of its initial magnitude by grade 12. While older entrants score higher through grade~12, they are slightly less likely to ever graduate from high school, consistent with earlier dropout eligibility. Postsecondary outcomes show routing toward university and away from college. The earnings premium is small and positive at age 25, but shrinks and becomes statistically insignificant at 30. Employment insurance receipt, social-assistance receipt, and family low-income effects are small and insignificant. Older entrants are more likely to be married by age 30. Overall, we find an additional month of school-entry age is unlikely to generate meaningful adult economic gains.
