Leah Hunt

Hello! My name is Leah and I am a PhD candidate at Penn State University on the 2026/2027 job market. My research is predominantly in microeconomic theory, with some additional work in experimental economics. I am interested in using economic reasoning to better understand topics including discrimination, affirmative action policy, and education.  I also greatly enjoy teaching and working with students and have taught undergraduate courses in intermediate microeconomics and game theory.
