Abstract

The LearninCov project, coordinated by Timothée Demont (UMR 7316 - Aix Marseille School of economics (AMSE) - University of Aix-Marseille), will study the following question: does the anxiety generated by the Covid-19 pandemic affect the learning and decision-making capacities of students and, if so, at what level and through which channels? It will analyze the impact of the negative consequences on the labor market and the social consequences of the crisis on students' cognitive abilities, their confidence and locus of control, their expectations, their risk preferences and their mental health. It will formulate recommendations on student support policies and contribute to the scientific literature on the economic consequences of psychological factors.
