Matthieu Solignac

I am an Assistant Professor at University of Bordeaux where I am holding an "Excellence Research Chair in Population Sciences" (sponsored by IdEX Bordeaux, INED, and Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region). I initially worked at INED, AMSE, and Sciences Po where I taught "Demographic Economics", before joining the Population Studies Center of the University of Pennsylvania to work on the migrant mortality advantage.

• Fields of interest: Population Economics, Demography, Regional & Urban Economics, Microeconometrics

My research interests are in spatial dynamics of socio-economic inequalities. I study how migration and residential location can shape the relative differences between groups coming from or living in different locations. My main research interest is in measuring how compositional changes related to migration drive observed aggregate trends.
