Kaitlyn M. Sims
Welcome!
I am a PhD candidate in Agricultural and Applied Economics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
My research is at the intersection of the public health, economics of violence and conflict, and political economy. Broadly, I am interested in the ways that individuals cope with uncertainty and social turbulence, including political instability and domestic violence. My job market paper, titled "Seeking shelter from the storm: Emergency domestic violence shelters and family violence," explores how local emergency shelter availability impacts the rate of domestic violence homicide.
I will be on the economics job market in 2021-2022, and I will be available for interviews around the APPAM, EEA, and ASSA meetings.
