Marie Paul

Professor Marie Paul serves as Chair of Quantitative Methods in Economics at the Mercator School of Management, University of Duisburg-Essen. She holds additional appointments as member of the DFG research training group Regional Disparities and Economic Policy and the Ruhr Graduate School in Economics, while chairing the standing field committee in Population Economics.

Her research program integrates two core domains:

• Labor, Health & Education Economics: Focusing on active labor market policy evaluation, maternal health/work dynamics, part-time career effects, interregional mobility, and school-to-work transitions
• Applied Microeconometrics: Specializing in causality analysis, treatment effects estimation, and dynamic program evaluation methodologies

Professor Paul's recent publications (2023-2024) demonstrate continued innovation in maternal employment research and training program evaluation, maintaining her position at the forefront of empirical labor economics. Her work consistently addresses policy-relevant questions using rigorous microeconometric approaches.

As an active supervisor, Professor Paul oversees Bachelor's and Master's theses while contributing to doctoral training through the Ruhr Graduate School. Her research group operates within the institutional framework of the DFG-funded research training group, providing structured research opportunities for graduate students.

Research activities are coordinated through her dedicated website (https://sites.google.com/site/marieelinapaul/home), which serves as the central hub for publications, ongoing projects, and methodological resources in quantitative economic analysis.
