Meredith M. Paker

I am a DPhil student in economic history working on unemployment and regional labor markets in interwar Britain and the late twentieth century United States. My dissertation examines the industrial and regional concentration of unemployment for both men and women in these periods using a novel dataset for the interwar period and modern models of mismatch unemployment.

Academic Background

I hold an MPhil in Economic and Social History from Oxford (2016-2018), funded by the Marshall Scholarship, as well as a BA in Economics and minor in Mathematics from the University of Georgia (2012-2016).

Supervisor: Avner Offer
