Research interests: labor economics, demography and health
Olga Malkova, UCI economics assistant professor and research fellow of the Institute of Labor Economics, studies causal effects of social programs across the life cycle such as transfers to reduce the cost of contraception, short-term transfers immediately after childbirth, annual child credits, aid programs to reduce college costs and pension benefits.
Her findings have been published in the Review of Economics and Statistics, Journal of the European Economic Association, Journal of Public Economics, Journal of Human Resources, Journal of Population Economics, and the National Tax Journal.
Malkova earned her Ph.D. at the University of Michigan. Prior to her UCI appointment, she was an assistant professor of economics at the University of Kentucky. She’s excited to join the economics department at UCI due to its strong applied microeconomics group and the availability of multiple weekly seminars that align with her interests. She’s looking forward to being a part of the department’s long tradition of training top-tier graduate students, and she’s planning to get involved with the work being done in the multidisciplinary Center for Population, Inequality and Policy.
