  • Do internships in master’s programmes help graduates to get a well-matched job

    Cecilia Albert, María A DaviaARTICLEStudies in Higher Education2026

    This paper illustrates how and when master’s-level internships and work placements contribute to finding a well-matched post-graduation job in Spain. Their duration and curricular or extracurricular nature are found to be irrelevant unless students remain with their placement employers for their first post-graduation job (i.e. internships function as door openers). It is only then that extracurricular and longer internships are associated with lo…

    This paper explores the role of geographical mobility in reducing overeducation risks in recent university graduates in Spain based on a sample from the Survey of Labour Insertion of University Graduates 2019 (EILU‐2019).

We also consider graduates' family background (parents with tertiary education versus the rest) and disting…

  • Educational mismatch in recent university graduates. The role of labour mobility

We explore whether educational mismatch is a stepping stone towards better-matched positions or whether graduates get trapped in mismatched jobs. Our results show that job mobility partially corrects educational mismatch (supporting …

    This article analyses the determinants of job satisfaction amongst Spanish academics, paying particular attention to the impact of research productivity and differences across graduation cohorts.

Interesting differences across graduation cohorts are found as regards the impact of research productivity and other satisfac…

  • Education is a key determinant of health in Europe

    Open AccessCecilia Albert, María A DaviaARTICLEHealth Promotion International2011

    This paper has contributed to confirming the link between education and health in developed countries. The analysis is based on 11 European Union countries. We estimate country-specific health functions, where the dependent variable is self-reported health status and the education attainment is one of the main inputs. All eight waves (1994-2001) of the European Community Household Panel are deployed. A random effects ordered probit is estimated i…
