Escaping the Elite Illusion

First-Hand Information on Economic Policy

Nobel Laureate Joshua Angrist at ZEW Mannheim

As part of the lecture series “First-Hand Information on Economic Policy”, ZEW Mannheim, in collaboration with the Department of Economics at the University of Mannheim, invites you to attend a talk by Nobel Laureate Joshua Angrist on 27 March 2025, from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. Angrist, from the MIT Economics Department, was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2021 for his outstanding contributions to the analysis of causal relationships.

In his talk titled “Escaping the Elite Illusion”, Angrist will explore whether attending elite educational institutions truly leads to economic success – or if this is merely an illusion.

Attendance is by invitation only. Please contact us at event@zew.de, if you are interested.
