Elena Herold (she/her)

Tach & welcome!

I am a PhD candidate at the Ifo Institute and LMU Munich. During 2024, I visited the University of Toronto and its Institute for Gender and the Economy. 

My main research interests are public and gender economics. Specifically, I examine the factors that influence labor and income allocation within the household and whether these outcomes are driven by public policies or norms. My job-market paper examines the impact of joint taxation on household inequality, focusing on same-sex couples. You can find my CV here and my research here. 

🎵 During my free time, I obsess over music, which is why I also include some of my musical recommendations and playlists here.

Upcoming Talks:

• NBER Public Economics Program Meeting, Spring

• COSME Gender Economics Workshop

• Mend the Gap in Economic Opportunities in Europe and Central Asia
