Welcome to the RECOUP Blog

This blog is a new project of the Consortium that aims to distribute news, views, the research findings by the RECOUP team and comment on the issues of education and poverty in developing countries. 

The blog wants to create conversations around important issues pertaining to education in the context of developing countries, including various options for financing education and their effectiveness in terms of improved educational outcomes; the social, human development and labour market outcomes of education and the poverty-reducing effects of these outcomes; the role of and impact of international aid to education sector on educational outcomes and sector efficiency, and others.   RECOUP Blogger, in a significant fraction, is about academic research in economics and finance of education, and it aims to serve as a forum to discuss current research in the field and elicit readers comments to our research findings.   Therefore, the blog mainly posts summaries of research and working papers as well as policy briefs produced by the consortium.  It is maintained by RECOUP researchers working on the six projects.
