Research[edit]
Dias' research interests are broadly centered in labor and public economics. She has written extensively on the labor market effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and has published several influential reviews of non-experimental methods in applied economics.
COVID-19 Pandemic[edit]
In recent years, Dias has published several well-cited papers on the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in the UK. In a paper in Fiscal Studies,[6] Dias reviews descriptive evidence on the employment effects of pandemic lockdowns, showing that job losses are concentrated among young, self-employed, and low-income workers.
In line with this work, Dias provided expert testimony to the Women and Inequalities Committee of the House of Commons on the unequal impact of the COVID-19 pandemic across genders.[7]
