3、Keynote Speaker Introduction
Professor Flávio Cunha
Ervin K. Zingler Chair of Economics
Director of the Center for Economic Mobility
Department Chair, Economics
Rice University
Dr. Flávio Cunha is the Ervin K. Zingler Professor of Economics and Chair of the Department of Economics at Rice University, where he also serves as Director of the Center for Economic Mobility. Before joining the faculty at Rice, he taught at the University of Pennsylvania. He earned his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Chicago in 2007.
Professor Cunha’s research expertise lies in labor economics, with a particular emphasis on human capital formation. He is a recipient of the Econometric Society’s prestigious Frisch Medal for his paper “Estimating the Technology of Cognitive and Noncognitive Skill Formation,” published in Econometrica and co-authored with James Heckman and Susanne Schennach.
Professor Cunha’s most recent research focuses on the causes and consequences of inequality and poverty. He is specifically working to quantify the degree to which labor income inequality is the result of preexisting heterogeneity across workers before they enter the labor market, versus the portion attributable to labor market shocks. He also studies the importance of investments in cognitive and noncognitive skills in explaining the heterogeneity that determines labor market inequality. His ongoing research project, the Philadelphia Human Development Study, aims to understand how parental expectations regarding the returns to investing in children affect actual investment decisions.
4、Discussant Introduction
Professor Samuel Greiff
Dr. Samuel Greiff is a Full Professor of Educational Monitoring & Effectiveness at the School of Social Sciences & Technology at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). He also serves as the Director of the PISA National Centre for Germany and Chairman of the Centre for International Student Assessment (ZIB), an interdisciplinary consortium funded by the German federal and state governments involving TUM, DIPF, and IPN.
Before joining TUM in 2024, Professor Greiff held professorships in Educational Psychology & Artificial Intelligence at Goethe University Frankfurt and in Psychology & Educational Assessment at the University of Luxembourg, where he was a fellow in the ATTRACT Research Program of Excellence. He holds a Ph.D. in cognitive and experimental psychology from the University of Heidelberg.
Professor Greiff’s research lies at the intersection of educational psychology, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence, with a specific focus on International Large-Scale Assessments (ILSAs). He has played a pivotal role in global studies such as the OECD’s PISA and PIAAC since 2010, contributing significantly to the assessment of transversal skills, including problem-solving and collaboration. Notably, he chaired the Problem Solving Expert Group for the second cycle of PIAAC. His current work extensively explores how AI, log file data, and learning analytics can enhance both summative and formative assessment practices.
In addition to his research, Professor Greiff is highly active in academic publishing. He is the current Editor-in-Chief of Learning and Individual Differences and serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Educational Psychology, Psychological Test Adaptation & Development, and Technology, Knowledge, and Learning. His work has been supported by major funding bodies, including the German Ministry of Education and Research and the European Union.
