Cristina's research interests are in applied microeconomics and applied econometrics.
She is currently working on the causal impact of health status on labour market outcomes as part of the social and economic value of health programme funded by The Health Foundation. She has also worked on urban location choices and gender issues in economics.
Her PhD focused on the use of Subjective Well-Being information in Economics.
