Welcome!

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Economics at Yale.  My research seeks to inform policies aimed at improving economic opportunity for low-income households. My fields of study are public, labor, and urban economics.

I received a PhD in economics from the University of Chicago in 2019. Prior to joining Yale, I was a Saieh Family Research Fellow at the Becker Friedman Institute and an assistant professor at Harvard. I also studied at the London School of Economics and at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. You can find a copy of my CV here.

If you’d like to contact me, please email winnie.vandijk@yale.edu. If your message is time sensitive, cc Shannon Bradford (shannon.bradford@yale.edu). 

I am excited to involve Yale students in my research projects; please send me an email.
