Sarah L. Winton
I am a sixth year PhD candidate in Economics at the London School of Economics (LSE). My primary fields are development and labor economics with a secondary focus in urban/spatial economics.Â
I am on the 2025-2026 academic job market.
I study how forced displacement and migration shape livelihoods. My job market paper studies the aggregate and distributional labor market impacts of extending the right to work to Syrian refugees in Jordan. I predominantly work in the Middle East.
Prior to the LSE, I worked as a pre-doctoral research assistant at Harvard University. I also worked at UNHCR Jordan under a Fulbright research grant. I received my BA in economics from the University of Pennsylvania.
