    Aedín Doris has been a Lecturer in Maynooth's Economics Department since 1997, after undertaking her PhD at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy.

    Aedín is an applied labour economist doing research mainly in the areas of earnings inequality, the economics of education and labour market public policy. Her research addresses policy-relevant questions using empirical analysis, typically of Irish data.

She has published in leading international journals such as the Journal of Human Resources, Economica, the Economics of Education Review, the Journal of Economic Inequality and the IZA Journal of European Labor Studies.

    In 2017, she was joint winner (with Bruce Chapman of Australian National University) of the Miriam Hederman O'Brien prize, awarded by the Foundation for Fiscal Studies for outstanding work in the area of fiscal policy.

    Aedín is Managing Editor of the Economic and Social Review. She is a member of the government's Pensions Commission and of the External Advisory Group for IGEES (the Irish Government Economic and Evaluation Service).
