Professor Constant's research lies in the economics of migration. As a

Her research has been funded by several foundations. She has been
invited to present her research at many institutions and to deliver
keynotes. She has also been invited to talk at migration policy panels,
and has written more than twenty five other reports and op-ed pieces on
migration issues.
Professor Constant serves on the editorial board of Applied Economics
Quarterly and has been on the scientific committee of several
international congresses. She has served as referee to many scientific
peer review journals and grant proposals, to Ph.D. students, and to
tenure positions and promotions. As a professor, Constant has fifteen
years of experience in teaching undergraduate and graduate classes in
economics at Georgetown University, the George Washington University,
the University of Alabama in Huntsville and Drexel University. She was
also the Vice Dean of the DIW Berlin Graduate School and in charge of
the graduate students in DC from 2007-2011. As an extra service to the
profession, Professor Constant has organized about sixty international
conferences and events with great success. In 2013, she became a member
of the prestigious Academia Europaea (the European Academy of Sciences) for her outstanding achievements as a researcher.
Professor Constant received her Ph.D. in Labor Economics and
Econometrics from Vanderbilt University in 1998, and had her
post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania. She has a
B.A. in Economics and Mathematics from the University of Athens, Greece,
and an M.A. in Economic Development from the University of Paris II,

Professor Constant joined IZA as a research fellow in 2002. Since then,
she has contributed 50 discussion papers, 3 policy papers, and 4
reports. In 2003, she took charge of the Danish project with Rockwool
Foundation; the project produced the Migrants, Work, and the Welfare State book in 2004, in which she has contributed six chapters. In 2004, she co-founded the Migration research area at IZA and the Annual Migration Meeting or AMsquared, with the Julian Simon Lecture and became the deputy of the area. Since 2009, she is also co-organizing the Annual Meeting of the Economics of Risky Behaviors (AMERB), a highly regarded international conference.
