About Me

I'm an assistant professor in the Department of Economics at the London School of Economics, affiliated with the Center for Macroeconomics, the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) and the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA). 

I am a macroeconomist. I serve as an associate editor at the Journal of the European Economic Association. 

I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Cambridge, where I received the Adam Smith Prize, and my PhD in economics from MIT. In 2020-2021 I was a post-doc in the Department of Economics at Princeton University, at the Julis-Rabinowitz Center for Public Policy and Finance.

Here is my CV.  My email is J.hazell [at] lse [dot] ac [dot] uk. 

I sometimes tweet about my research. In my spare time I'm an enthusiastic marathon and ultra-marathon runner.

General Interest

I summarized my research with a pair of episodes on David Beckworth's Macro Musings podcast. Tyler Cowen has also summarized some of my research at Marginal Revolution.
