Professor Amelie F. Constant is the Executive Director of DIW DC in Washington DC and a visiting professor at the Elliott School of International Affairs at George Washington University. She is also the Vice Dean of the Graduate Center at the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW) in Berlin and the Deputy Program Director of Migration at IZA in Bonn.
Professor Constant's research interests are in international migration, immigrant assimilation issues, gendered differences in labor market outcomes, occupational mobility, labor market segmentation, immigrant entrepreneurship in an intercountry setting, minorities and schooling quality and earnings. Her latest work deals with ethnic diversity, national identities, ethnic self-identification, risk attitudes, brain drain and remittances. She has conducted research and published papers on Markov-chain based models and queuing theory to study various demanding applications, resource allocation, and immigrant assimilation. While most of her empirical research is on migration in Germany, she has also done research on migration in France, Denmark, Italy, Greece and other EU countries, as well as the U.S.
As a scholar in the economics of migration, Professor Constant has been working in the field for fifteen years. She has written over thirty five refereed articles and book chapters, published in many prestigious journals. She has won the Senior Prize Category of VdF/DIW for the best paper using the GSOEP during the period 2003-2004 and the Highly Recommended Paper Award at the Emerald Literati Network Awards for Excellence in 2007. She is the co-editor of the book How Labor Migrants Fare?, a volume of Research in Labor Economics, and of the special issue of the Journal of International Manpower. Her research has been funded by the EU High Level Group, the Volkswagen Foundation, the Fritz Thyssen Foundation, and the International Organization for Migration. She has been invited to present her research at institutions like Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania, George Washington University, University of Cyprus, Rand, Virginia Commonwealth University, Georgetown University, the Foreign Service Institute U.S. Department of State, Renmin University of China, and at numerous professional meetings. She has also been invited to talk at migration policy panels, and has written a dozen other reports and op-ed pieces on migration issues.
She serves on the editorial board of Applied Economics Quarterly and has been on the scientific committee of several international congresses. She is also a Research Fellow of IZA and RIIM Canada, and was a senior visiting fellow at the American Institute for Contemporary German Studies in Washington, DC in 2006. As a professor, Constant has ten years of experience in teaching undergraduate and graduate classes in economics. She has served as a visiting Professor at the Georgetown Public Policy Institute, at the University of Alabama and Drexel University. She has also organized more than twenty high-profile international conferences in Germany and the U.S., and served as referee to many scientific peer review journals and grant proposals.
In 1998, Professor Constant received her Ph.D. in Labor Economics and Econometrics from Vanderbilt University, and had her post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania. She has a B.A. in Economics and Mathematics from the University of Athens, Greece, and an M.A. in Economic Development from the University of Paris II, France.
Professor Constant joined IZA as a research fellow in 2002. |
