Lea-Karla Matić

Welcome!
I am a postdoctoral researcher at Johannes Kepler University Linz, affiliated with the Institute of Economics, Zagreb. I received my PhD in Economics from Johannes Kepler University Linz in 2026. My research lies at the intersection of health, labor, and gender economics.
Using applied microeconometric methods and administrative data, I examine how major life events and public policies shape labor market outcomes and well-being over the life course.
