Gillian Meyer

I am a fifth-year PhD candidate in Applied Economics at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, where my research focuses on affordable housing and homelessness. I am also a passionate teacher, and in 2026 received the Penn Prize for Excellence in Teaching by Graduate Students, Penn's top university-wide teaching honor for graduate students. I will be on the 2026-2027 job market. 

Prior to graduate school, I worked as a pre-doctoral research fellow on the Comprehensive Income Dataset (CID) project at the Harris School for Public Policy at the University of Chicago. I received my BA in Economics and Mathematics from Pomona College in 2020.
