Sofiana Sinani

PhD candidate in Economics & Junior Researcher at CERGE-EI

I am on the 2026/2027 job market 😊

My research spans family, political, and development economics. I study how institutions interact with identity to shape preferences over family and employment, with a main focus on post-Communist settings. I am also interested in firm growth in developing countries.

During my PhD years, I visited the University of Padova (hosted by Andreas Menzel), the University of Copenhagen, CEBI (hosted by Mette Gørtz), and the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (hosted by Cathrin Mohr). I was also a research intern at Moody’s.
