Biography

Yuki Takahashi is a behavioural economist studying gender and inequality issues. Their research primarily uses laboratory and online experiments to uncover people's behavioural biases behind the gender gaps in the labour market and persistent inequalities. During the Fellowship, Yuki plans to conduct a field experiment to close the gender gap in STEM fields.

Yuki received a PhD in Economics from the University of Bologna. During their PhD, Yuki served as a coordinator of the IDEE Meetings, monthly meetings for experimental economists to discuss their experimental designs open for researchers inside and outside Bologna. In addition, Yuki built professional networks with researchers inside and outside Bologna by visiting several universities and attending various conferences. Yuki also gained teaching experience as a teaching assistant for a graduate statistics course at Johns Hopkins University's Bologna campus. Further, Yuki deepened their understanding of real-world gender and diversity issues as a team member of the Women in Economics Initiative, an NPO in Germany.

In their free time, Yuki enjoys exploring cities, reading books at a coffee shop, and practicing yoga.
