Dr. Nedelkoska is a post-doctoral researcher at the Zeppelin University and a research associate at the Center for International Development at Harvard University. She completed her PhD in economics at the University of Jena and the Max-Planck-Institute of Economics. In Jena she also worked as a post-doctoral researcher and a scientific coordinator of the DFG Research Training Group The Economics of Innovative Change.

In her past research, Dr. Nedelkoska investigated the factors of job security and occupational change. She also studied the structural changes of human capital in developed economies and the drivers of such changes.

She is currently interested in the effects of sectoral production shocks on skill restructuring, and the effects of skill changes on the individual careers and firms’ performance. She is furthermore investigating the aspects of work that make a job or an occupation “complex”. In this respect, she is designing measures of task and job complexity. In general, her interests are occupational economics, economics of knowledge, human capital and capital-labor relations.
