Jérôme Gonnot

Research Associate
Jérôme Gonnot is a Post-Doctoral Research Associate with the ITFLOWS project at the Migration Policy Centre (RSCAS,EUI), where he works on the identification of the most influential factors driving public attitudes to immigration using meta-analytic and multilevel modelling techniques. Prior to joining the MPC, he obtained a PhD in Economics from the Toulouse School of Economics, where he wrote a dissertation on the integration and assimilation of immigrants and the rise of socially conservative, so-called ”populist” actors on the political scene under the supervision of Prof. Philippe De Donder. His current research explores attitudes to immigration as well as the challenges raised by migrants’ integration into their host society. Two chapters of his PhD thesis investigating the consequences of immigration on fiscal policy and the political acculturation of immigrants are available as working papers. Jérôme has also recently authored a policy brief on global trends in attitudes to immigration. Personal website: https://sites.google.com/view/jerome-gonnot/home
