Giovanni Righi
Graduate Student Researcher
University of California - Los Angeles
Giovanni's research is focused on racial income inequality in the United States. His work leverages the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics database in the Northwest Federal Statistical Research Data Center to analyze how firm wage premia and local labor market racial segregation contribute to the variation in income across racial groups. Giovanni will also soon be affiliated with the UW School of Public Health and the Veterans’ Affairs Administration as a Health Services Research and Development Postdoctoral Scholar. In his research at the VA, he is studying the impact of various programs that have been effective at dramatically reducing Veteran homelessness over the last decade.
