This episode’s guest is Elisa de Weerd, a PhD candidate in Health Economics at the Erasmus School of Economics and incoming postdoctoral researcher at Radboud University. She discusses her research on employment and earnings dynamics before and after transgender transitioning using Dutch administrative data. The conversation explores how large-scale administrative datasets can help study labor market inequalities faced by transgender individuals, the methodological challenges of identifying transitioning events in the data, and the implications for understanding economic outcomes and wellbeing. Elisa also reflects on how the project developed during her PhD and on future research directions.
