Emma Scandolo

Hi there, I’m Emma!

Whenever I’m not pretending to be an elite runner, I am a PhD student at the UCL Econ Department - which mostly means running regressions instead of marathons. I also spent summer 2026 as a PhD Economist Intern with Amazon’s Economist Team in London, working on EU stores. Check out my research or my CV, and feel free to get in touch via email.

My job market paper, Less to Lose: How shorter and more flexible degrees shape university choice and earnings, won the 2026 UniCredit Foundation Best Paper Award in Education Economics.
