Giulia SLATER

Giulia Slater joined STATEC Research in February 2023. Her research focuses on subjective wellbeing and social capital, with a particular emphasis on the role of social capital as a determinant of wellbeing and as a moderator in the income-wellbeing relationship. She is interested in the formalization and justification of wellbeing measures in economics, and she hopes to investigate the causal interrelationships between people's happiness and their circumstances, particularly in terms of labor market and health outcomes. She is also interested in labor market phenomena such as the great resignation and its relationship to a society's mental health and life satisfaction. Economic policy, microeconometrics, post-growth economics, social economics, and sociology are among her other research interests.
