STEFANO CARIA

Hi! I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Warwick. 

​

I am affiliated to J-PAL and CEPR (development and labour). I am also IGC lead academic for Ethiopia and I serve as trustee for the Global Change Data Lab.

I use experimental and structural methods to investigate how to make labour markets more inclusive and more efficient.
