Agnese Romiti is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Economics at the University of Strathclyde's Adam Smith Business School, where she joined as a Lecturer in 2018 and was promoted to Senior Lecturer in May 2022. She holds a PhD in Econometrics and Empirical Economics from Tor Vergata University, Rome (2012), an MSc in Development Economics from the same institution (2011), and a BA in Biomedical Electronic Engineering from the University of Bologna (2004).
Her previous academic positions include Senior Researcher at IAB - Institute for Employment Research (2013-2018), Research Fellow at the University of Turin (2012-2013), and Researcher at CeRP Collegio Carlo Alberto (2010-2012). She has held visiting periods at institutions including Simon Fraser University, UC Davis, ISER at the University of Essex, and the University of Bristol.
Dr. Romiti's research focuses on labour economics, applied econometrics, empirical microeconomics, and economics of migration, with specific interests in gender economics, family economics, and immigrant integration. Her work significantly contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to education and gender equality.
Her recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on gender disparities in the labor market, immigration effects on host economies, and family economics. She employs rigorous empirical methods, particularly difference-in-differences approaches, to address causal questions in these domains. Her work on Brexit's impact on international student mobility and the motherhood penalty represents cutting-edge research in applied microeconomics.
