Bring curious minds in magical places and they'll write incredible stories.

FEDERICA BRACCIOLI

 I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the Institute of Economics and Econometrics (IEE-GSEM) at the University of Geneva and a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute for Economic Analysis (IAE-CSIC) and the Barcelona School of Economics (BSE).

  

My main research interests are Political and Labor Economics. My work on Political Economy focuses on contract enforcement institutions and organized crime. I study the consequences of ineffective civil tribunals on the presence of organized crime, new measures of organized crime activities, and their persistence over time. I also study Labor and Education Economics, particularly the effect of the college major choice on labor market outcomes in the context of multiple unordered choices. 


I am co-founder of Rare Voices in Economics, an association that implements strategies to break self-perpetuating mechanisms that inhibit diversity and inclusion in the economic profession.

SERVICE

IEE Ph.D. Mentoring Program – UniGe

During the Fall Semester of 2020, I founded the IEE Ph.D. Mentoring Program. Motivated by the negative shock COVID had on our community, I wanted to create opportunities for new Ph.D. students to meet their seniors. I am currently running the program with Kyungbo Han. I am also an active mentor. 

Mentees: [2020-21] Felipe Fausto; [2022-23] Cecilia Carvalho.

RARE VOICES IN ECONOMICS

I am co-founder and co-president of Rare Voices in Economics  (former Women in Economics Léman),  a joint initiative by Ph.D. students at the Graduate Institute Geneva, the University of Geneva, the University of Lausanne, and EPFL since 2019.

WHO WE ARE

We are Ph.D. students in Economics, some of us are “rare voices*”, and others are not. We all believe that our profession could do better both in terms of individual experience and productivity via better allocation of talents. Creating a safe space for diverse voices to express themselves can benefit everybody. Our mission is to keep this discussion open and advocate for change at the institutional level.

OUR STRATEGY

  1. Raising awareness and fostering an open exchange through our workshops. We review relevant scientific papers and reflect during our occasional roundtables with experts in the field.
  2. Leveling the playing field through our mentoring program and theater workshops to empower PhD students in building networks and mastering challenging environments.
  3. Promoting institutional change via our guidelines for more inclusive economics departments. These changes are approved by the Graduate Institute and sparked a conversation within other departments.
  4. Creating a safe space for research using our research clusters and our annual Rare Voices in Economics conference. During these events, we create secure and stimulating places to discuss research.

PATHWAYS FOR MORE INCLUSIVE ECON DEPARTMENTS

In September 2021, with Laura Minu Nowzohour, I organized 

the first edition of the conference "Rare Voices in Economics". 

We designed and moderated the roundtable "Pathways for More Inclusive Economics Departments: What Works and What Doesn't", an interdisciplinary discussion with Professor Emmanuelle Auriol (TSE), Professor Heidi Mirza (Goldsmiths University of London, University College London and LSE) and Professor Estefania Santacreu-Vasut (ESSEC Business School).
