Andrea Bernini

I am a Lecturer in Economics at Trinity College and a Career Development Fellow in Economics at Mansfield College. I previously taught economics at Lincoln College, St. Edmund Hall, St. Catherine's College, Jesus College, and Merton College. I obtained the Ph.D. in Economics and the M.Phil. in Economics from the University of Oxford, and I was a visiting research fellow at the University of Venice (2022), the European University Institute (2019) and at Harvard University (2019). I have an interest in the interaction between research and policy making, conducting research for the World Bank Group, Goldman Sachs, the Bank of England and the United Nations.

I teach core microeconomics papers at Trinity College, and I also teach introductory economics at Mansfield College.

My research interests lie at the intersections of political economy, microeconometrics, development and public economics. I study the econometric impact of voting rights' policies across different aspects of American politics, minority rights, inclusion and enfranchisement.
