Christina is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Digital Economy Lab, working with Professor Erik Brynjolfsson. Her research interests cover the fields of empirical labor economics and economics of education. Her research delves into the future of work, focusing on various aspects related to the supply and demand of skills and the evolving hiring practices of firms. She uses big, unstructured data like apprenticeship plan texts and online job postings as well as administrative data to estimate returns to skills and to investigate recent labor market trends like remote work or skills-based hiring.
