The editorial board of the Journal of Economic Analysis warmly welcomes Dr. Matija Kovacic as a new member! Dr. Kovacic, a Senior Researcher at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) and a subject expert at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, brings exceptional expertise in quantitative policy analysis, health economics, immigration attitudes, multidimensional inequality, and cultural drivers of economic behavior. His prolific contributions, published in top-tier journals such as the Journal of Population Economics, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, Social Choice and Welfare, Journal of Peace Research, and Journal of Human Resources, bridge rigorous academic inquiry with impactful policy applications. We look forward to his insights in advancing interdisciplinary economic research and enhancing the journal’s global reach.
