Sara will receive her honorable mention at the 117th National Tax Association Annual Conference in Detroit, Michigan on November 15th.

Sara Spaziani is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Warwick. Her primary research interests are in public economics and labor economics. In particular, she studies how public policies and economic shocks impact workers, employers, and the labor market in order to inform optimal policy design and reduce existing inequalities.

Sara received her Ph.D. in Economics from Brown University in May 2024. Her dissertation, titled “Essays in Public and Labor Economics,” combines economic theory with the analysis of administrative and survey data to explore the welfare and labor market effects of government policies and economic shocks.

Congratulations Sara!
