Elisabetta De Cao

I obtained my PhD in econometrics and empirical economics from Tor Vergata University. I then worked as postdoc at the University of Groningen, as research fellow at the University of Oxford, and as assistant professor in health economics at the London School of Economics and Political Science. I am currently Fellow at LSE and IZA, Associate Member at MiSoC (University of Essex), and Affiliate Member at Dondena (Center for Research and Social Dynamics, Bocconi University).

My research is on family and health economics with a focus on the early life origins of health, violence against children, parenting and fertility behaviour.
