Welcome!

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

I graduated from the University of Chicago with a PhD in economics in 2019. Prior to joining Yale, I was a Saieh Family Research Fellow at the Becker Friedman Institute and an assistant professor in the Department of Economics 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). 

My office is in 30 Hillhouse Ave, Room C241. Office hours are by appointment. In the fall of 2024, I am on leave at Princeton's Industrial Relations Section.

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