معرفی
Matthias Parey is Professor in the School of Social Sciences (Economics) at the University of Surrey. He holds significant research positions as Research Fellow at the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), Editor of Fiscal Studies, Research Fellow at the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA), and Researcher at the ESRC Research Centre on Micro-Social Change (MiSoC).
Professor Parey completed his PhD in Economics at University College London (UCL), establishing the foundation for his distinguished academic career. His educational background has positioned him as a leading researcher in multiple economic fields.
His research spans labour economics, where he has made substantial contributions to understanding trade shock impacts on households with notable gender differences in labor market responses. In economics of education, he has investigated international student mobility effects through programs like ERASMUS and examined intergenerational educational impacts. His methodological work in micro-econometrics has advanced demand estimation techniques, particularly in addressing Berkson errors and incorporating economic theory constraints. His research on inequality examines both labor market dynamics and health outcomes, while his innovation economics work includes novel approaches to measuring illicit markets like cannabis.
Professor Parey's publication record demonstrates exceptional methodological rigor combined with policy relevance. His work frequently appears in top economics journals including the Review of Economics and Statistics, Journal of the European Economic Association, and The Economic Journal. His research shows consistent evolution from foundational work on maternal education effects to contemporary analyses of trade shocks and pandemic economics.

Professor Parey has directed significant research funding through his center affiliations, particularly in analyzing trade impacts, international mobility, and methodological advances in empirical economics. His work on the ERASMUS program demonstrated that studying abroad increases foreign employment probability by 15-20 percentage points, while his forensic economics approach to cannabis market measurement yielded estimates nearly double previous methods.
Professor Parey maintains active academic leadership through his editorial role and research center affiliations. His current research continues to address pressing economic questions with sophisticated methodologies, as evidenced by his 2025 forthcoming work on household trade shock responses.
