The Gap Between Talents and Skills: A New Empirical Framework for Analyzing Inequality of Opportunity in Spain

Funded by a BBVA Leonardo Grant

This research project investigates inequality of opportunity by decoupling initial potential from subsequently acquired skills. We will combine longitudinal data, early cognitive assessments, and genetic indicators associated with educational achievement. The goal is to obtain a new measure of inequality of opportunity and to identify key moments when social conditions foster the development of individual potential in Spain.
