I am a behavioral economist with primary research interests in Risk and uncertainty and information. 

My research investigates how learning environments affect the assimilation of uncertain information and the formation of uncertainty attitudes and beliefs.

I am a Behavioral Economist with interest in Individual Decision Making, Neuroeconomics, Discrimination and Environmental Economics.

In my research, I study the role of (visual) attention in different economic decisions, such as risk-taking, hiring and sustainable consumption. During my PhD I have developed a statistical method that uses visual attention measures (e.g., eye-tracking data) to predict heterogeneous behavior in an experimental sample.

Primary Fields: Visual Attention, Gender discrimination, Sustainable Consumption
Secondary Fields: Heterogeneity, Risk and Loss Aversion

I am an applied microeconomist with primary research interests in labor and family economics.

In my research, I investigate the relationships between fertility choices, labor market outcomes in the family, and child development, examining how each shapes and influences the others.

Primary Fields: Labor Economics, Family Economics
Secondary Field: Applied Microeconometrics

Placement: Postdoc at Aarhus University, Denmark

My primary research fields are econometric theory and time series analysis, with particular interest in developing econometric and machine learning methods to assess macroeconomic, financial and climate risk. My work focuses on time series models in the context of heavy-tailed processes and extreme events.

Primary Fields: Econometrics; Time Series Analysis
Secondary Field: Financial Econometrics

Secondary Fields: Complexity, Learning

My research focuses on asset pricing. I am an empiricist with a broad interest in the linkages between financial markets and the real economy.

My research studies how market concentration affects asset pricing, how the financial health of intermediaries impacts institutional investors’ demand for assets, and the effects of a shrinking stock market on portfolio choice.

I am an empirical financial economist with a research focus on market microstructure, at the intersection with asset pricing and financial econometrics.

My work examines how market (micro)structures of securities trading impact price discovery, price efficiency, and market liquidity. In my research, I employ a diverse range of state-of-the-art econometric tools, including financial econometrics and time series models. My empirical work integrates econometrics with data science to yield novel insights.

Primary Fields: Market Microstructure, Market Liquidity, Asset Pricing
Secondary Fields: Financial Econometrics, Data Science

I am an econometrician specialising in time-series econometrics and causal inference.

In my research I propose a time-varying instrumental variable estimator and an extension of a synthetic control estimator in the presence of mediators. While my research focuses on econometrics, I also have interests and experience in practical data science and machine learning projects.

Placement: Assistant Professor in Finance at Nova School of Business and Economics, Portugal

I am a financial economist with primary research interests in macro-finance and climate finance.

In my research, I combine theory and empirics to explore how financing frictions affect our response to climate change, through adaptation and mitigation, and its distributional effects. I also study the impact of climate risk on asset prices, and how climate risk, through its macro-financial implications, affects political support for climate policies.

Primary Fields: Macro-Finance, Climate Finance

I’m an applied labour economist with a focus on globalisation and international migration.

My research explores how various aspects of globalisation, including cross-border labour mobility and the expansion of multinational enterprises, impact regional economies and local employment dynamics. For empirical evaluation, I use microeconometric methods for causal inference in application to large administrative data.

Primary Fields: Labour Economics, Applied Microeconomics
Secondary Fields: Microeconometrics, Migration, Multinational Firms

I am an empirical microeconomist with primary research interests in education, labor and crime economics.

My research focuses on evaluating policies that support the successful reintegration of former prisoners into society, as well as educational interventions in less privileged areas that aim to enhance children's aspirations and their educational outcomes.

Primary Fields: Education, Labor, Crime
Secondary Field: Family Economics

I am an econometrician specialising in volatility modelling and tail risk forecasting, with applications to financial and macroeconomic time series.

My research explores how to improve multi-period volatility forecasts from potentially misspecified models, which is particularly relevant in contexts where institutional constraints limit model changes. Additionally, I study how to model tail risks using volatility and quantile regression models. 

Primary Fields: Econometrics, Financial Econometrics
Secondary Fields: Risk Management, Macroeconometrics

I am a behavioral and applied microeconomist with interests in labor, organizational, and education economics.

My research combines experimental methods with survey data to study how challenges in educational and professional settings affect individuals and whether preferences and ability to handle these challenges are rewarded in the labor market.
