Angelina Nazarova

Dr Angelina Nazarova is an applied economist and Senior Research Officer at the Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex. She studies how social, economic and institutional factors shape the health, education and life chances of children, families and disadvantaged groups, using survey and linked administrative data alongside quantitative and experimental methods. 

As an ADR UK Fellow, she is using linked administrative data to investigate what happens to children with special educational needs when the support they receive at school changes or stops. Her wider research covers family decisions, gender and labour markets, including how expectations and beliefs about family life shape choices around work, childcare and parenthood. She is also a researcher with the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration East of England, working on prevention, early childhood, and health and social care, including local food environments.

Angelina holds a PhD in Economics from the University of Bologna and has worked in academic and policy institutions in the UK, Italy, Germany, Uzbekistan and the United States.
