Dr. Antonio Di Paolo, researcher of the group AQR, has been awarded with the Lluís Fina prize, during the 13th Labour Economics Meeting, which took place on June 12th-14th 2019, at the University of Huelva in Islantilla, Huelva.

Antonio Di Paolo received the Prize for his article entitled "Bilingual schooling and earnings: Evidence from a language-in-education reform" which he co-authored with Lorenzo Cappellari and was published in the journal "Economics of Education Review" in 2018. Antonio Di Paolo received the award from the president of the AEET Executive Committee, Raul Ramos, and the jury’s representative Begoña Cueto (Universidad de Oviedo). The aim of the Lluís Fina Prize is to recognise both theoretical and applied research excellence in the field of labour economics.

This year’s award-winning paper was selected by a committee of three members appointed by the Governing Board of the AEET: Raquel Carrasco (Universidad Carlos III), Albrecht Glitz (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) and Laura Hospido (Banco de España).
