Chiara Santantonio

Chiara Santantonio is a Lecturer in Economics at the University of Bath researching household economic behavior and time allocation. Her work examines how financial constraints influence domestic dynamics, notably through studies linking economic distress to intimate partner violence. Current projects investigate resource allocation within households and gender disparities in time use, employing econometric analysis of national datasets.

Research highlights:

• Economic drivers of intimate partner violence
• Time-use patterns under financial stress
• Behavioral responses to economic shocks

She co-founded the Women in Political Economics Network and leads research on abortion policy economics.
