Mahtab Karimi

Hello!

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University of Washington. My research focuses on empirical microeconomics, with an emphasis on businesses and the role of rank-and-file employees within corporations. 

 I am interested in using innovative methods, such as large language models and machine learning techniques, to address my research questions. 

Prior to pursuing my Ph.D., I earned a master’s degree in Economics and a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Sharif University of Technology.
