Elisabeth Leduc is a PhD candidate at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in Belgium. Her research interests lie in applied microeconomics in general, and more specifically in labour, health and gender economics.

More specifically, it explores these policies from a perspective that blends a specialized analysis of their impact on the health of program participants with a more general study of their effects on employment.
