Mitchell VanVuren

I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at Vanderbilt University.

I am a macroeconomist primarily interested in questions of growth and development. I'm interested in combining microdata and experimental results with macroeconomic models to better inform our understanding of these phenomena at an aggregate level and the challenges that may come with scaling up small-scale interventions to the level of an entire economy. To this end, I use and develop new computational techniques to capture the high levels of heterogeneity found in microdata.
