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 Economic, and Applied Microeconometrics. I combine causal inference methods with large-scale and original survey data to examine how public policies shape the lives of women and girls in the Global South, focusing particularly on education, marriage markets, and reproductive health. My work has been published in the Journal of Development Studies.
