    Department Seminar Series- Guilaume Morel

    The European Impact of Modern Historical Pandemics on Households and Labor Markets Since 1870

    1-2pm on Tuesday 27th January 2026

    How do pandemics shape labour markets and household outcomes over the long run? Drawing on evidence from six European countries since 1870, this seminar explores how pandemics act as economic shocks, with lasting implications for wages, productivity, and demographics.

    Guillaume holds a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Strasbourg and BETA since May 2023. His research interests are focused on pandemic management and preparedness, economic history, macroeconomic and epidemiological modelling.
