Roberta Olivieri

PhD Candidate, Cornell University

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at Cornell University. My research focuses on labor economics in Brazil, spanning topics such as gender gaps, informality, health, and the role of time constraints in shaping labor market choices.

My job market paper develops a continuous-time structural matching model with endogenous hours, search, and on-the-job upgrading to study gender gaps in earnings, hours, and labor-force participation in Brazil.

Before graduate school, I worked as a macro analyst at BOCOM BBM Bank in Brazil, and I hold an M.Sc. and a B.A. in Economics from PUC-Rio.

I am on the 2025–2026 job market.
