Welcome!
I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Nottingham. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from MIT, and I spent one year as a Postdoctoral Scholar at IZA. I'm a CESifo Affiliate and an IZA Research Fellow.
I am a labor economist interested in gender gaps and labor market institutions. My first area of research studies the causes of the motherhood penalty in the labor market. In my second strand of research, I investigate how labor market institutions, such as employment protection legislation and collective bargaining, alter firms’ incentives and technological choices and affect inequality in the labor market.
Here you find my CV and here you can learn more about my research. Get in touch! You can find me at martina.uccioli@nottingham.ac.uk.
New! I'll be visiting MIT in Fall 2025.
