Astrid Ruland

Welcome!

I am a PhD Candidate in Economics at the European University Institute (EUI) in Florence, Italy. My advisors are: Prof. Edouard Challe and Prof. Thomas Crossley.

I will join De Nederlandsche Bank as a Research Economist in September 2025!

During my PhD I visited New York University and the European Central Bank.

My research interests include: Macro-labour, search and matching, theory and applied. 

I study the interaction between labour market policies and aggregate uncertainty, large macroeconomic events or market frictions. In addition, I analyse the effect of these interactions on labour market outcomes both for the aggregate and for individual groups.
