I am an Associate Professor at the Economics Department of the University of Warwick. I do research in the areas of gender economics, economics of education, and economics of science and innovation. In my research, I try to address relevant questions relying on solid theoretical foundations and credible empirical strategies. My past work primarily dealt with discrimination in the labor market and the assessment of various higher education policies. My research was published in top economics and top-field economics journals, as well as in interdisciplinary journals, such as American Economic Review, American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, and Research Policy.

Dr Eleanor F. Woodhouse is Associate Professor of Public Policy at University College London, in the Department of Political Science and School of Public Policy. She is a scholar of comparative politics, gender and politics, and public administration who studies how agency relations function in modern governance. She studies the increasingly complex ways in which governments enact their policies – for example, the ever-lengthening chains of delegation from sovereign power to point of service delivery – and how this affects fundamental features of democracy, such as the ability to hold key political players to account. Before undertaking her PhD at Bocconi University, Dr Woodhouse worked as a Policy Officer at the European Commission. Dr Woodhouse’s work has appeared in political science and public administration journals including the Journal of Public Administration Research & Theory, Comparative Political Studies, Governance, and the Journal of Public Policy.
