Muriel Niederle is the Pauline K. Levin-Robert L. Levin and Pauline C. Levin-Abraham Levin Professor of Economics at Stanford University's Department of Economics, part of the School of Humanities and Sciences. Her research focuses on behavioral and experimental economics, with notable contributions to understanding gender differences in competitive environments, market design, and labor economics. She has co-authored influential work on residency matching programs (NRMP) and school choice mechanisms, addressing issues like unraveling in labor markets and the impact of centralized matching systems.
Awarded membership in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2024) and the Kaethe Leichter Staatspreis (2024) for her work on gender studies and social sciences, Niederle's research also explores signaling in markets and the dynamics of competitiveness. She has collaborated extensively with Alvin E. Roth on market design, contributing to policies in gastroenterology fellowships and school allocation systems like San Francisco's unified school district.
Her work on gender disparities in competition, including seminal papers like Do Women Shy Away from Competition?, has shaped debates on workplace dynamics and educational policies. Niederle's experimental economics research bridges theory and practice, addressing real-world challenges in labor markets and institutional design. She teaches advanced courses on market design and has advised on designing fair allocation mechanisms for public and private sectors.
