On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The Roy model is a foundational framework for analyzing the sorting of individuals and the allocation of skills in contexts such as education, immigration, and labor market decisions. While the standard Roy model assumes only self-selection, many real-world scenarios involve capacity constraints that limit such choices. We extend the Roy model by incorporating capacity restrictions and examine how external agents optimally select individuals under these constraints. Secondly, we analyze the effects of the interaction between self-selection and external selection on the allocation of skills and compare the implications of our model to the standard Roy model. Thirdly, we introduce imperfect information about the skills of individuals and investigate how this alters the selection process by the external agents, as well as the resulting allocation of skills. Finally, we propose empirical strategies to test the key implications of our model.
