Ekaterina Zhuravskaya is Professor of Economics at the Paris School of Economics and EHESS and a Research Fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research in the Public Policy and Development Economics programs. She was formerly the academic director of the Center for Economic and Financial Research at the New Economic School in Moscow. She was the 2018 recipient of the Birgit Grodal Award, a biennial award to "a European-based female economist who has made a significant contribution to the Economics profession."

Her research focuses on empirical political economics and the economics of the media. In recent years, she has studied factors that make ethnic diversity important for conflict and economic development, including the impact of forced mass movements of ethnic groups in Eastern Europe and from Eastern Europe to Central Asia during WWII, the impact of ethnic occupational segregation on ethnic tensions in the context of historical anti-Jewish violence in Europe, and the impact of political manipulation on ethnic conflict in Central Asia.
