This presentation highlights the recent scholarship of David Figlio, who popularized the use of matched birth-school data to address public health and education policy questions in the field of economics. Figlio will present a survey of his research on early health and later educational outcomes, as well as the use of sibling comparisons (facilitated by matched birth records) to study policy-relevant issues in education.
