Mária Balgová

Welcome!

My name is Maria and I work as a research economist at the Bank of England. I hold a PhD (DPhil) from the University of Oxford and am a Research Fellow at IZA.

In my academic work, I try to understand various aspects of the labour market. I focus on the spatial dimension of the search and matching: how workers and firms search and find each other across space, and how this drives geographic mobility and regional differences. I also study why firms don't post wages in their vacancies, what types of flexible jobs are good for workers, and why immigrants struggle to assimilate in the labour market.
