Laia Bosque-Mercader

Welcome to my website!

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Applied Economics at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Since 2022, I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of York.

I am also an Associate Researcher at the Centre for Research in Economics and Health at Universitat Pompeu Fabra. 

My research is primarily on applied microeconometrics, with an emphasis on public policy analysis related to health, family, and education. My latest work aims at understanding how family-friendly policies, including public childcare and parental leave, play a significant role in shaping family health and household dynamics.
