Sofia Karina Trommlerová, PhD

Welcome to my webpage!

Who I am

I am an Associate Professor at the Institute of Public Policy at the Comenius University Bratislava, Slovakia, and Co-Founder and Co-Director of SAVIA - the first Slovak Association of Women in Science and Innovations. I am also a Research Fellow at the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) and Central European Labor Studies Institute (CELSI), and a Member of the Executive Committee of the Slovak Economic Association. 

What I do

I use statistical methods to examine topics related to family, fertility, child health, and gender. My main research interests encompass family economics, population economics, development economics, and economic demography. Previously, I worked on human development (capability approach, empowerment, agency) and poverty in developing countries. In all of my work, I use applied microeconometric methods.

My largest projects

Check out the webpages of my funded research projects PREGNANCYBENEFIT (MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowship, Horizon Europe), REPROBEH (Resilience and Recovery Plan), and FEMPOLCEU (Resilience and Recovery Plan).
