Marko Ledić
I am an economist interested in public, labor and welfare economics. I work as a Research Associate at the Institute of Economics, Zagreb.
In particular my focus is on inequality and well-being measurement, work incentives and labor supply, tax-benefit microsimulation and (distributional) effects of transfer programs and policy reforms.
