Ksenia Viktorovna Rozhkova

Ksenia Viktorovna Rozhkova is a Senior Research Fellow at the Laboratory of Labor Market Research and a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Applied Economics at the Faculty of Economic Sciences, National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE University). She has been working at HSE since 2017 and has 5 years of scientific and teaching experience. Her work primarily focuses on labor economics, with particular emphasis on non-cognitive skills and higher education outcomes in the Russian context.

• PhD in Economics (2024), National Research University Higher School of Economics
• Master's degree in Economics (2021), National Research University Higher School of Economics
• Bachelor's degree in Economics (2019), National Research University Higher School of Economics
• HSE Programming Academy, Python Programming (2019)

Rozhkova's research spans labor economics with a focus on how non-cognitive skills influence labor market outcomes. She investigates gender wage gaps, returns to education (particularly master's degrees), and the impact of working while studying on career trajectories. Her work also examines labor market integration across various educational pathways including distance learning and vocational education. She has made significant contributions to understanding how personality traits affect health behaviors and longevity, expanding traditional labor economics into health economics. Her methodological approach often involves advanced econometric techniques including quantile regression to analyze nuanced relationships in labor market data.

Analysis of her recent publications shows a strong focus on the intersection of education and labor markets, with particular attention to gender dynamics and non-cognitive skills. Her work demonstrates how personality traits and soft skills influence economic outcomes beyond traditional human capital measures. Rozhkova's research has increasingly incorporated health economics perspectives, examining how non-cognitive skills affect both labor market outcomes and health behaviors. Her most recent work shows a trend toward more comprehensive analyses of educational pathways in Russia, particularly examining how different forms of higher education lead to varying labor market outcomes.

Rozhkova has been actively involved in numerous research projects at HSE University, particularly through the Laboratory of Labor Market Research. She has collaborated extensively with Professor S.Yu. Roshchin and other researchers on projects examining various aspects of the Russian labor market and education system. Her grant-funded research has focused on understanding returns to different forms of education, gender disparities in the labor market, and the impact of non-cognitive skills on economic outcomes. She has presented her findings at numerous international conferences including the Yasin (April) International Academic Conference and CHER Annual Conferences.

As a member of the Laboratory of Labor Market Research at HSE University, Rozhkova contributes to one of Russia's leading research teams studying labor market dynamics. The laboratory conducts extensive empirical research using various data sources including the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS-HSE). Her work often involves large-scale data collection and analysis projects examining educational pathways, labor market transitions, and the economic returns to various forms of human capital investment. She is also involved in the "Monitoring of Education Economics" project, which produces regular bulletins on various aspects of education and labor market interactions in Russia.
