Fernando Flores Tavares

Welcome!

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Economics and Statistics at the University of Siena. I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from the joint doctoral program of the Universities of Florence, Pisa, and Siena, and was a visiting researcher at the University of Göttingen.

My research focuses on poverty, inequality, and gender, with an emphasis on multidimensional measurement, social indicators, and applied econometric methods. My work has been published in journals such as World Development, Social Indicators Research, and Socio-Economic Planning Sciences.

I have taught Econometrics at the master’s level and contributed to research projects on multidimensional poverty and intimate partner violence in Italy. I have also worked as a consultant for UNICEF Innocenti and the World Bank.

I am a Global Labor Organization (GLO) Fellow and serve on the editorial review board of Applied Research in Quality of Life. I am also a member of the International Society for Quality-of-Life Studies.
