Annica Wattler

I am a doctoral candidate and research assistant at the Chair of Economic Policy and Economic Development at the University of Bayreuth.

My research lies at the intersection of Development Economics, Gender Economics, the Economics of Education, and Health Economics. In particular, I study how education policies and child marriage laws affect women's life-cycle outcomes in the Global South, with a focus on sexual and reproductive health, exposure to intimate partner violence, and labour market outcomes.

I will be on the 2026–2027 job market and I am particularly interested in opportunities in Barcelona and the surrounding area.
