Agathe Simon

I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the ESRI in Dublin and a Research Affiliate at Trinity College Dublin.

My research lies at the intersection of public and labour economics.

I study how tax and benefit systems shape poverty, inequality and labour supply, with a focus on groups exposed to specific risks such as in-work poverty, gender inequalities, and disability. I combine microsimulation, structural labour supply models and quasi-experimental methods.

I completed my PhD in December 2022 at BETA - Université de Strasbourg, focusing on unemployment benefit systems and their redistributive and incentive effects.
