Sofía Maier

Economist (PhD) | Public Policies & Research

I work at the science-policy interface, both revisiting old questions and pushing new ones. This space involves a dual challenge: translating frontier scientific evidence into policy-relevant insights, while also shaping research agendas with questions grounded in real-world policy needs. I very much enjoy working at both directions of this bridge.

Main areas of research/expertise: 

(i) economic cycles and welfare responses to shocks; (ii) public policies; (iii) tax-benefir microsimulations; (iv) just transition; (v) drivers and measurement of inequality and poverty; (vi) gender; (vii) migration.
