Catherine Mary O'Donnell

Welcome!

I’m a fifth year PhD candidate in Economics at Boston University. My research interests lie in public and labor economics, political economy and economic history. My work studies fiscal and political economy considerations in policymaking, with a specific focus on how government policy impacts migration and spatial inequalities. 

Prior to the PhD, I worked as a research analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia . As a PhD student, I've worked as an intern in the Office of Economic Empowerment (OEE) at the Massachusetts State Treasury.
