Cécile Hediger

Cécile Hediger serves as a Lecturer at the Institute of Economic Research within the Faculty of Economics at the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland. Concurrently, she holds the position of head of research in education and unemployment at Statistique Vaud, the cantonal statistics office of Vaud.

Her academic foundation includes a PhD in Economics from the University of Neuchâtel (2023), with doctoral research focused on household energy consumption and energy efficiency. This work included a research residency at Yale University in the United States. Her educational background directly informs her dual expertise in theoretical and applied economics.

Dr. Hediger's research spans three interconnected domains: environmental economics examining sustainable resource use; energy economics analyzing consumption patterns and efficiency; and educational economics investigating labor market outcomes. Her current role at Statistique Vaud demonstrates practical application of these interests through data-driven analysis of education systems and unemployment dynamics in the canton of Vaud.

As a member of the Institute of Economic Research, she contributes to academic discourse while maintaining strong ties to public policy through her government position. Her teaching portfolio includes 'Introduction to Political Economy' for law and humanities students, bridging economic theory with interdisciplinary applications.
