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.00:00 Introduction01:15 Why economic research04:35 Challenges during Covid07:00 Visiting Yale08:34 Graduates in a cycle, graduating in a recession14:07 Women in the labor market19:29 Competition and the gender pay gaphttps://cerge-ei.cz/https://instagram.com/cergeei/https://facebook.com/cergeei/https://x.com/CERGE_EI/https://bsky.app/profile/cerge-ei.bsky.social/
