Ines’ research is in the area of labour economics, with a particular interest in topics at the intersection of labour and urban economics. Her thesis focusses on two broad topics: the economics of local labour markets and the economics of job displacement. In her job market paper, she analyses whether national industry shocks that affect local industry labour demand can have indirect effects on employment in other geographically close industries because of the existence of productive or cost benefits from co-locating (agglomeration economies). In a second paper in that area of research, Ines analyses how mass layoffs affect local labour markets.
