Project areas

The CRC TR 224  addresses three key societal challenges: how to promote equality of opportunity; how to regulate markets in light of the internationalization of economic activity; and how to safeguard the stability of the financial system. The distinguishing feature of the CRC is that it views these challenges as inherently interconnected; its goal is to analyze and provide policy proposals to address them.

Project area A: Family and education policies

Informal and formal institutions – such as the family and the school – interact in a complex process that depends on initial conditions, investments and shocks. The goal of project area A is to better understand this process and to contribute to the formulation of effective, evidence-based family and education policies.
