Marek Rocki

Prof. Marek Rocki is a Professor at the Institute of Economic Development within the College of Economic Analysis at the Warsaw School of Economics (SGH). His work focuses on analyzing graduate outcomes, higher education policy, and labor market dynamics. He has extensively studied university rankings, graduate employability, and the economic impact of education reforms in Poland. Recent research includes investigations into wage premiums for graduates, non-traditional academic programs, and the interplay between geographic relocation and employment success.

Key contributions include frameworks for categorizing universities and academic fields using data from Poland's Graduate Tracking System (ELA). Rocki's work emphasizes evidence-based policy recommendations for improving educational quality and labor market alignment.

He has authored over 50 publications since 1987, with a focus on Polish higher education systems. His analyses often combine statistical methodologies with policy implications, such as his 2025 study on declining graduate earnings trends and 2021 work on wage premiums from geographic mobility.

Rocki actively participates in academic governance at SGH, contributing to institutional strategy and ethical standards. His research consistently bridges academic theory with practical policy applications, influencing national debates on education reform and economic development.
