Mory Clark | Mory.Clark@ed.ac.uk |
Mory’s current research will focus on the impacts of migration, human capital formation and the impacts on global inequality, using micro founded macroeconomics to model these effects.

Adolfo Fuentes Werlinger | A.I.Fuentes@sms.ed.ac.uk |
Adolfo's primary research interest lies between labor economics and macroeconomics. Specifically on how frictions affect the labor market and how labor outcomes, such as wages, informality, and unemployment, can be affected by changes in the minimum wage, changes in the skill composition of workers, and increases in social security contributions. As a secondary interest, Adolfo is interested in how people's social capital influences different aspects of life, such as labor market outcomes, health, and voting behavior, and how some environmental aspects, such as inequality, can ameliorate these relationships. |
