Laura Muñoz-Blanco

Warm welcome! I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Exeter Business School and affiliated with the Trinity Impact Evaluation-TIME research centre. I received my PhD in Economics from Trinity College Dublin in 2023.


I am an applied economist interested in development economics and applied microeconometrics. I am passionate about understanding the interaction between forced displacement and two primary outcomes: 

My research questions have led me from humanitarian to economic history settings, with a focus on causal identification. One motivation for my research is to evaluate policies designed to mitigate the impacts of forced displacement. 


Before getting my PhD, I worked for seven years at the United Nations and the OECD.
