I am a postdoc at the Institute for Socio-Economics (IfSO), University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE), Germany, and external collaborator at International Labour Organization (ILO) Department of Statistics. Associate Editor of Feminist Economics journal.

Interests:

• Feminist and gender economics

• Labor economics and macroeconomics

• Political economy

At IfSO-UDE, I am studying the gender dimensions of technological change and structural change, using Bartik-shock instruments, with a focus on segregation in employment and hours worked. I am also working on the wage effect of sexual harassment in the workplace, mental health economics and LGBTQ+ economics.

At ILO, I study how labor rights affect economic inequality, using macroeconomtrics and causal inference techniques. Concretely, I empirically analyze the effects of freedom of association and collective bargaining in labor shares and US foreign direct investment.

I recently won an UDE Seed Funding Grant for a project on the political economy of gender left-right voting in Europe, that studies the macroeconomic underpinnings of gender differences in political ideology.  I started this project was a visiting fellow at the Comparative Political Economy Research Group of Prof. Dr. Lucio Baccaro at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies (MPIfG) in Cologne during Fall 2023.

I worked as a political economy fellow at the Statistics Dept. of Sapienza University of Rome in 2019. I was an international fellow at the Politics Dept. of New York University (NYU) in New York in Fall 2016 and Summer 2017, hosted by Prof. Shanker Satyanath and Prof. Christopher Dawes. I went on COST Action scientific mission on Computational Social Choice at Toulouse School of Economics (TSE) in 2015, hosted by Prof. Philippe De Donder. I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from the Econometrics and Statistics Dept. of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Bilbao, Spain (2019) and an MS. in International Economics from the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM), Madrid, Spain (2013).
