Brooke Hathhorn

Hello! I am a second-year Research Associate at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. My current research focuses on macroeconomic forecasting, inflation expectations, applied Bayesian econometrics.

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) with a degree in Math and Economics. 

I am the founder and inaugural Editor-in-Chief of the CWRU Journal of Economics, a student-run research journal that publishes economic analysis on timely topics and local Ohio region. 

At CWRU, I was a teaching assistant for six economics classes, including graduate-level Advanced Econometrics and the Senior Capstone in Economics. I completed an honors capstone (thesis) that investigates whether pandemic-driven test-optional policies increased diversity of matriculated students.

I will be applying to Economics PhD programs in the 2026-2027 application cycle.
