FEDERICA MELUZZI

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Economics Department at Bocconi University. In June 2026, I will join LMU Munich as an Assistant Professor in Economics. I am also a Research Affiliate at ROCKWOOL Foundation Berlin.

I hold a PhD in Economics from CREST (Institut Polytechnique de Paris), defended in October 2025. During my PhD, I spent visiting periods at the LSE and the University of California, Berkeley. I also collaborated with the French Ministry of Labor (DARES) as a research fellow.

My research lies in labor economics, gender and public economics. 

I study how peers, firms, and public policies shape the evolution of gender norms. I am also interested in the role of education policies in reducing non-financial barriers to equal opportunity and in the role of information frictions and pay transparency in shaping wage inequality.

I was awarded the Young Economist Prize 2024 by the European Association of Labor Economists and the Young Economist Prize 2025 by the Italian Association of Labor Economists.
