IZASKUN ZUAZU

I am a postdoc at the Institute for Socio-Economics (IfSO), University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE). I am interested in political economy and economic and political inequality. I am studying the gender dimensions of technological change and structural change, using Bartik-shocks instruments and dynamic panel data models. I am also interested in gender discrimination and violence. 

I am currently a visiting scholar at the Comparative Political Economy Research Group of Prof. Dr. Baccaro at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies (MPIfG) in Cologne during Fall 2023. At MPIfG, I am working on the feminist political economy of gender left-right voting in Europe. 

Before joining IfSO, I worked as a postdoc at the Statistics Dept. of Sapienza University of Rome in 2019.

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). I was an international fellow at the Politics Dept. of New York University (NYU) in New York in Fall 2016 and Summer 2017. I went on COST Action scientific mission on computational social choice at Toulouse School of Economics (TSE) in 2015.
