Marco Ercolani is an Associate Professor in Econometrics at the Department of Economics, Birmingham Business School, University of Birmingham. His research applies econometric methods to socio-economic issues in health, ageing, education, and labour markets. He teaches courses in quantitative methods, labour economics, and time series regression.
Education:

His research interests focus on applied econometrics, particularly using cross-sectional, panel, and time-series data to test theories against real-world data. Key areas include sickness absence behaviour, seasonal economic cycles, Euro adoption effects on prices, and labour market outcomes across age groups. He emphasizes 'bringing data to theories' and develops custom statistical programming for non-standard analyses.
The recent publications reflect a strong trend in interdisciplinary applied research, combining econometrics with public health (antibiotic disposal, antimicrobial resistance), environmental economics (climate change and migration), education policy (subject choice, student performance), and development economics (time poverty in Ghana, intergenerational mobility). His work increasingly involves policy-relevant analysis, including commissioned reports for the UK Department for Transport.
Scientific Contributions:
- Developed statistical software (SAVE9) for Stata.
- Authored book chapters on China's economic dualism and Euro inflation effects.
- Published book reviews in The Economic Journal.
He supervises PhD students in labour econometrics and collaborates widely across disciplines. His work appears in journals such as Economics of Education Review, Feminist Economics, The Energy Journal, and Higher Education. He is actively engaged in current research and policy analysis, contributing to both academic discourse and practical policy solutions.
Laboratory/Research Group: Member of the Econometrics Research Group within the Department of Economics at the University of Birmingham.
