César Barreto

Welcome!

I am an Economist (YP) at the World Bank Group in the Macroeconomics, Trade, and Investment Unit (Europe and Central Asia). I hold a PhD in Economics from FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg (2025) and joined the World Bank's Young Professional program in 2026. Previously, I worked as a Junior Economist at the Jobs and Income Division of the OECD and a Doctoral Researcher at the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) in Nuremberg. 

My main research interests are in labor economics, particularly on job displacement, economics of immigration and topics related to wage inequality and structural change. 

I am a co-lead member of the OECD-LinkEED network and a former co-organizer of the Junior Migration Seminar.
