Our job market candidate Margarita Pavlova is the latest guest in the Talking Economics: Emerging Scholars podcast series, which highlights the research
and career journeys of CERGE-EI PhD in Economics candidates and recent graduates.
Margarita is an applied microeconomist specializing in labor and gender economics. Her research explores how macroeconomic conditions, labor market policies, and institutions shape labor market outcomes—especially the long-term effects of economic shocks, wage setting, and labor market inequality. In her job market paper, Margarita studies how business-cycle conditions at the time of labor market entry shape early-career trajectories and how these effects evolve over time.
