Cristina Lafuente Martinez

Part-time Assistant Professor

Department of Economics

Biography

Cristina came to the EUI as a Max Weber fellow in 2019, and since 2021 she returns to the EUI Department of Economics to teach probability and sometimes labour economics. She is an assistant professor at the University of Bath, after holding postdoctoral positions in Universidad Carlos III and UCLouvain. She also had smaller teaching appointments at the LSE, the University of Oxford and the University of Edinburgh, where she completed her PhD in 2018.

Her research focuses on applied search and matching in labour markets and technological change. She is interested in marginal (atypical) jobs, their interactions with unemployment, welfare and growth. That is, if it is a better for workers to have multiple but unpredictable jobs versus longer, more protected employment contracts and the inequalities that arise from changing labour markets in Europe. She is fascinated by computational methods and has been working on implementing new algorithms for high-dimensional matching problems.

She has received multiple nominations for university teaching awards, and genuinely enjoys teaching.
