Sonia Jaffe

I am a third year graduate student in the Harvard University Economics Department. I graduated with honors in economics from the University of Chicago in 2008. During summer 2010, I worked at the Federal Trade Commission in the Bureau of Economic Research.

I am interested primarily in questions of applied microtheory. I have worked on projects in public finance, law and economics, and industrial organization.

I am a concentration advisor and a non-res tutor in Kirkland House. I am also affiliated with the Harvard Institute for Quantitative Social Science, the John M. Olin Center for Law, Economics, and Business and the Human Capital and Economic Opportunity Working Group on Measuring and Interpreting Inequality.

When not doing economics I like to cook, play board games, (attempt to) solve word puzzles, and read science fiction.
