Irina is a labour economist with research interests in the areas of retirement, informal employment, and executive compensation. Her work is grounded in life cycle models of labour supply and search and matching models. Irina's current research projects aim to understand the dynamics of executive compensation, the relationship between informal employment and retirement, and the effects of university subject choices on labour market outcomes across the life cycle. Her earlier work focused on the impact of involuntary job loss on the retirement decisions. She also investigated whether the coordination of retirement by couples can be attributed to leisure complementarities.
