Jessica N. Flagg

I am first-year Finance Ph.D. student at The Boston College Carroll School of Management. In May 2021, I graduated summa cum laude from The George Washington University with a major in Economics and minors in Mathematics and Sustainability.  For the three years following my undergraduate career, I served as a Senior Research Assistant at the Federal Research Board in the Consumer Finance Section and for Governor Chris Waller. 

My research interests lie in the intersection of the environment, economy, and equity. I have a particular passion for household finance topics. In my previous work, I have examined how different factors such as credit type, lender dynamics, the U.S. banking structure, market competition, and interest rates affect an individual's economic status.
