FEDERICA MELUZZI

I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at LMU Munich. Before, I have been a  Postdoctoral Researcher at IGIER at Bocconi University. 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 visited the LSE and the University of California, Berkeley, and I have collaborated with the French Ministry of Labor on pay transparency policies.

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 pay transparency in shaping wage inequality.

NEWS: My co-authors and I have been awarded the Upjohn Institute's 2026 Early Career Research Award to pursue research on the design of parental leave benefits!
