Jeanne Tschopp

University of Bern

Jeanne Tschopp is an Assistant Professor at the University of Bern. Her research involves understanding how labor market frictions and the structure of wage formation impact the functioning of labor markets. Currently, she focuses on the demand side of the labor market, and in particular, on the implications of search and bargaining mechanisms for local labor market outcomes, trade incentives and firms’ labor demand decisions in Germany and the US. She is also particularly interested in the effect of technological change on wage inequality across firms.

Andrea Tulli

University of Warwick

I am an applied microeconomist who specializes in public economics. In my research, I evaluate the effect of different policies on Italian municipalities, with a particular focus on public procurement and municipal expenditure. In my work, I explore questions such as the effect of anti-corruption policies aimed at one municipal government on the behaviour of neighbouring municipalities, or the effect of greater fiscal decentralization on public budgetary decision. Finally, in my most recent work I study the link between fiscal rules and the effectiveness of procurement spending of the Italian municipalities. I complete my PhD in Economics at the University of Warwick. In the Fall 2020, I will join the University of Tübingen as Assistant Professor in Public Economics.
