Biography

Voena received her BA from the University of Turin in 2005, and her MA and PhD in Economics from Stanford University in 2011.[5] Her dissertation research was supervised by Petra Moser, Caroline Hoxby, Michèle Tertilt, Monika Piazzesi, and Luigi Pistaferri.[6]

After completing her PhD, Voena joined the Harvard Kennedy School as a post-doctoral fellow, followed by the University of Chicago as an assistant professor.[7] In 2020, she moved to Stanford University, where she currently serves as Professor of Economics. She is also a Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research.[1]

In addition to her academic appointments, Voena is an Editor of the Journal of Labor Economics[1] and a Foreign Editor at the Review of Economic Studies.[8] She is affiliated with the National Bureau of Economic Research[9] and Centre for Economic Policy Research.[5]

In 2017, Voena received a Sloan Research Fellowship,[3] awarded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to early-career scientists in recognition of distinguished performance. The same year, she won the Carlo Alberto Medal, awarded biennially by the Collegio Carlo Alberto to the best Italian economist under 40.[4] In 2022, Voena was elected a Fellow of the Econometric Society.[2]

Voena is married to Neale Mahoney, also a professor of economics at Stanford University.[10]

Research

Voena's research focuses on the economics of the household, in addition to the economics of science and innovation.[5] According to Research Papers in Economics, she is among the top 500 female economists in the world.[11]

Science and innovation

Voena's early work examined the impact of migration and intellectual property on scientific discovery. In work with Petra Moser and Fabian Waldinger in the American Economic Review,[12] Voena shows that German-Jewish immigration to the United States as a result of World War II increased patenting in subfields of chemistry specialized in by the arriving scientists.[13]

In related work, Voena and Moser study the Trading with the Enemy Act,[14] which allowed American firms to violate foreign intellectual property during World War I if deemed valuable to the US military effort. The paper showed that compulsory licensing of foreign patents increased downstream domestic patenting in affected chemical subclasses by nearly 20%.[15]

Economics of the family

In recent years, Voena has focused on development economics and the economics of the family.[1] In work with Nava Ashraf, Nathan Nunn, and Natalie Bau, Voena shows that there exists a positive relationship between female education and bride price,[16] such that the effects of school construction programs such as Indonesia's INPRES are strongest in ethnic groups that maintain the practice.[17]

In another paper with Lucia Corno and Nicole Hildebrandt, Voena leverages plausibly exogenous variation in incomes resulting from drought to show that economic conditions affect the timing of marriage and child-bearing.[18] In India (where dowry is common), drought reduces the rate of child marriage, while in Sub-Saharan Africa (where bride price prevails), drought increases its incidence.[18] This is consistent with a model in which households use marriage payments (either from or to the bride's family) to smooth consumption over time.[19]
