Dr Margherita Negri
Senior Lecturer
Research areas
Dr Negri is a microeconomist with a special interest in Political Economy. She has conducted theoretical and empirical research on voting under proportional representation, the measurement of ethnic voting and immigration. Currently, she is working on the interplay between institutions and immigration policies in a country, as well as the effect of increased female representation in politics on gender attitudes.
Dr Negri is also interested in metascience research. As part of a UKRI Data for Metascience grant, she is currently studying the consistency of peer reviews in the grant allocation process. Additionally, she is conducting experimental research on the comparison between different processes for allocating grants (and more generally, prizes) with a focus on the incentives provided to applicants and reviewers.
Dr Negri is open to PhD supervision in any topic in Political Economy, both theoretical and empirical, as well as metascience questions related to peer review and prize allocation methods.
