Giulia Ferrari is an Assistant Professorial Research Fellow at the LSE Centre for Women, Peace and Security (WPS). Giulia is an applied quantitative health and development economist. She applies statistical and micro-econometrics expertise to interdisciplinary research in three areas: the cost-effectiveness of violence prevention interventions, the mechanisms linking women’s exposure to violence and their economic outcomes/opportunities, and the measurement of subjective and objective wellbeing. In the Hub’s Methodological Innovation Stream, Giulia is developing an index to monitor the wellbeing of women and men in conflict and fragile settings.
