Donia Kamel

I am a PhD Candidate in Economics at the Paris School of Economics, supervised by Hillel Rapoport, with Marco Tabellini and Ekaterina Zhuravskaya on my thesis committee. 

My primary research interests are in migration, economic history, political economy, and discrimination. 

My broader research agenda examines identity and diaspora politics, with a focus on the Arab diaspora in the Americas.
