Ivan Lagrosa

PhD Student
CEMFI, Madrid

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at CEMFI, in Madrid.

My research interests are in the areas of Macroeconomics and Labor Economics, with a particular focus on income dynamics and labor market duality. I am also interested in Econometrics and Time Series Econometrics, whose tools I am currently exploiting in my research projects. I have expertise in working with large administrative datasets.

I hold a MSc in Economics from Bocconi University, and I did my undergraduate studies at the University of Turin and at the Collegio Carlo Alberto. I worked as a research assistant at Bocconi University and Fondazione Ing. Roldofo DeBenedetti.

Income dynamics in dual labor markets (Working paper)

When measuring income dynamics, discrete labor market events have been traditionally ignored. However, income trajectory and labor market history are intricately linked. In this paper, I use the stochastic EM algorithm to estimate a tractable statistical framework that combines discrete events in a dual labor market with continuous variables characterizing income trajectory over time. The model takes into account potential endogenous selection, by allowing the same observable and latent characteristics of workers to explain both their income trajectories over time and their selection into labor market statuses.
