Narcisse Cha’ngom is a Research Economist at the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER), within the Labour Market Department (Impact Evaluation Unit). He joined LISER in 2020 and conducts research at the intersection of migration, labour markets, and spatial development. His work focuses on understanding how worker movements shape regional economies, productivity, and inequality in both origin and destination locations.

His research agenda centres on three main objectives:

1. Developing micro-founded and spatial general-equilibrium models to analyse the links between skill-biased emigration, productivity, and development in sending countries;

2. Quantifying, at fine spatial scales, how differences in exposure to migration affect local economic performance and how these effects propagate across regions;

3. Investigating the role of migration in structural transformation, particularly through its impact on informality dynamics, labour reallocation, and human-capital accumulation.

Narcisse holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Luxembourg and LISER (Luxembourg).
