Patrizia Massner

Ph.D. candidate at IIES - Institute for International Economic Studies

Stockholm University

Welcome!

I am a PhD student of Economics at the IIES, Stockholm University. My research relates to topics in Labor Economics (mainly), Public and Health Economics. In particular, I am eager to understand drivers of economic inequalities and to identify effective policy measures that work towards a more equal distribution of opportunities.

In August 2025, I will join Johns Hopkins Carey Business School as a postdoctoral scholar.

I hold a master degree in economics from the University of Bonn and a bachelor degree in economics from the University of Mannheim. I spent the 2022–2023 academic year as a visiting research fellow at the Department of Economics at Harvard University.
