Aleksandra Lukina is a Research Associate at the Stone Center for Research on Wealth Inequality and Mobility. Prior to joining the Center, Lukina was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Harris School of Public Policy, University of Chicago, Postdoctoral Associate and a Visiting Lecturer at Cornell University, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Senior Lecturer at Saint Petersburg State University. She holds a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics (Russian Scientific Degree “Candidate of Science in Physics and Mathematics”) from Saint Petersburg State University. Her major interests lie in the field of Economic Theory and Mathematical Methods in Social Science. In particular, her research focuses on studying intergenerational mobility and wealth or income inequality dynamics. Lukina is interested in formal economic models of intergenerational wealth transmission which may capture different mechanisms of such transmission and provide various underpinnings for links between mobility and inequality.
