Michael Wicklein

I am a Ph.D. student in Public Policy at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy. My research is primarily in public finance, with a focus on consumption, saving, and household balance sheets. I am also interested in developing econometric methods that are useful for empirical work.

Prior to graduate school, I earned a M.S. in Applied Economics from Boston College and a B.B.A. in Finance from Loyola University Maryland. I worked as a Senior Research Associate at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston in the International Macroeconomics section, and as a Research Associate at the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.
