Jackson Mejia

I study topics in public finance and macroeconomics, and am particularly interested in the evaluation and design of fiscal policy. I received my PhD in economics from MIT and I am an assistant professor of economics in the School of Civic Leadership at the University of Texas. Previously, I served as an economist in the Council of Economic Advisers.

My CV is available here.
