Adrian Nieto Castro

Adrian Nieto Castro is an Associate Senior Lecturer at the Department of Economics and the Centre for Economic Demography at Lund University. His research focuses on the intersections of Labor Economics, Economics of Education, and Environmental Economics, with a particular emphasis on how digital media and policy interventions shape educational outcomes, labor market behavior, and demographic trends.

His work explores topics such as the impact of television access on academic achievement, gender disparities in labor market sorting, and the effects of subsidies on fertility decisions. He has also examined differences between native and immigrant populations in relation to the gender pay gap.

Recent studies highlight his analysis of the digital television transition in the UK, revealing insights into household labor supply dynamics and academic performance. His research often integrates policy implications, such as how public initiatives influence employment and family decisions.

Adrian has supervised a PhD thesis on early labor market conditions as a second supervisor. His contributions bridge empirical economic analysis with real-world policymaking, addressing societal challenges through rigorous academic inquiry.
