Research Interest Statement
Over the past three years, Gangl has published work on unemployment, women’s careers and income mobility in leading journals. He has also published on propensity score matching methods and causal inference in the social sciences more generally. His work typically draws on large-scale longitudinal datasets to understand cross-country differences in social stratification and its generative processes.
