dc.description.abstract	Diversity in education systems, and broader political and economic conditions, are commonly credited with international variation in inequality of educational opportunity (IEO). Comparing East and West Germany before reuniﬁcation allows us to investigate whether vastly different political, economic, and educational systems led to differences in IEO. Postreuniﬁcation, East Germany adopted the West’s systems and experienced an economic recession. IEO had been smaller in East Germany than in West Germany but was on an upward trajectory before reuniﬁcation. After 1990, IEO in East Germany converged to the West German level as a result of decreased IEO in the west and increasing levels in the east. Postreuniﬁcation convergence suggests that differences in political context and education policy are crucial for IEO.	de
