Andrea Franco-Hernández

Hi! I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Economics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. I’m an applied microeconomist who studies crime and education policies aimed at preventing youth from engaging in criminal activity. My work combines rich administrative microdata with reduced-form methods and structural modeling. 

I will be on the job market for the 2025-2026 academic year!
