Emily Barker is a Research Fellow studying the uncertainty of migration across time horizons. Emily completed her PhD in Economics at The University of Sheffield in 2020. Her thesis "Essays on the Macroeconomics of Migration" evaluated the role of migration on the macroeconomy of open economies using dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models and structural vector autoregressions (SVAR). The research includes evaluation of brain waste in Canada and the relationship between the resource curse and migration with the use of occasionally binding migration policies. Emily's research interests are in the areas of international migration, business cycles, open economies, fiscal policy, emerging economies, commodity prices, and applied macroeconometrics.
