Samuel Nitkin

PhD Student in Economics

I am a PhD student in Economics at Boston University. My research interests are in the Economics of Education, Labor Economics, and Public Economics, with a focus on understanding the impacts of educational inequality in America.

I hold a BA in Economics from the University of Chicago. Before beginning my PhD, I worked as a pre-doctoral fellow at Opportunity Insights with professors Raj Chetty and John Friedman, where I studied the determinants and consequences of elite college admissions.
