- to estimate the causal effects of different parameters of the education system on outcomes later in life and, thereby, intergenerational mobility;
- to study how career progression and labour market outcomes differ by parental background;
- to conduct a survey, including a small experiment, in order to study self-assessed intergenerational mobility, preferences for redistribution, and political participation.
