UTA SCHÖNBERG

Welcome to my home page.

 

​

I am a Professor of Economics at University College London. My research interests are in Applied Microeconomics, in particular Labor Economics.

 

​

Topics I am currently working on include:

​

• the role of firms in the rise of wage inequality;

• the impact of business taxation on local labor markets, firms and workers.

​

​

I have served as a Joint Managing Editor at the Review of Economic Studies between 2016 and 2021. Since 2022, I am a Fellow of the British Academy. I am the Deputy Director of the CReAM.

In 2019, I received a 5-year ERC Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council for my project "Wage inequality within and across firms: The role of market forces, government and firm policies”.
