Hi! I'm Jake, a PhD student in the Department of Economics at Harvard University. I graduated from Yale College in 2020, where I pursued a double major in Statistics and Data Science (S&DS) and Ethics, Politics, and Economics (EP&E).
I'm interested in topics at the intersections of economics, computer science, and statistics.
