Angelina Nazarova – PhD Candidate

Angelina Nazarova, PhD

I am an applied economist specializing in understanding socio-economic disparities, with a particular focus on gender, health, and development. My research explores the challenges faced by vulnerable populations, leveraging advanced quantitative methods. I aim to deliver data-driven insights that inform both academic discussions and practical policy solutions.

About me

Currently I am a Senior Research Officer at the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex, where I work on projects related to early childhood, motherhood, health and development. My recent research covers topics such as the child penalty, mental health, and parenting.

I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of Bologna, an MSc in Economics from the University of Konstanz, and a BSc in Economics with Finance from the University of Westminster.

I have experience with teaching students and working in various public institutions such as the Center for Economic Research in Uzbekistan and the IFPRI in Washington, DC.

I am affiliated with the European Economic Association, Società Italiana di Econometria, and the Royal Economic Society.
