Natalia Mora Sitja

Dr. Natalia Mora Sitja is an Associate Professor in Modern European Economic History at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Downing College. She joined the Faculty in 2005 after completing her Economics and Management degree at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, followed by an MSc and DPhil in Economic and Social History at the University of Oxford.

Her research investigates the interactions between economic growth and labour markets, examining how technological innovations, migration, and structural change affect labour institutions and working conditions. Her doctoral work focused on the Catalan industrial workforce during industrialization, analyzing wage structures, inequality, and women's labor. Current research integrates gender into structural economic analysis using historical data and international comparisons.

Publications focus on labour market integration, wage inequality, and industrialization in European contexts, employing quantitative methods to analyze historical economic transformations.

Dr. Sitja supervises graduate students (MPhil and PhD) in European economic and social history, particularly projects involving inequalities, labour markets, women's work, migration, Spanish history, or quantitative analysis.
