While at University of Michigan, her primary research affiliation was with the U.S. Health and Retirement Study. Pamela is an applied microeconometrician, with a deep interest in uncertainty, heterogeneity, and measurement. Her research deals with the economics and econometrics of individuals’ expectations and other subjective phenomena, and with their role in determining microeconomic behavior under uncertainty. In her research, Pamela combines theory, theory-based survey measurement, and econometrics. Pamela’s research has often a human capital angle, while spanning applications in economics of education, family, health, labor, climate change, firms, and intersections of theirs. Pamela holds a BSc from the University of Verona, a MSc from Bocconi University, and a PhD from Northwestern University.
