Bradley Katcher

I am a Ph.D. student at the Harvard Kennedy School on the Economics track. I am an empirical, applied microeconomist. My research interests lie in health economics, public economics, and industrial organization. My previous work has examined the opioid crisis, public health insurance programs, and consumer/household finance. I am also interested in the application of machine learning and data science techniques to economic research. 

I am a National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellow. Prior to graduate school, I was a Senior Research Assistant in the Division of Research and Statistics at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington, DC. I attended the University of Virginia as the William A. Hobbs Jefferson Scholar, where I earned my B.A. in Economics, my Master of Public Policy degree, and a Master of Science in Data Science. 

In my free time, I enjoy running, cooking and baking, hiking and camping, kayaking, traveling, and watching Cleveland and UVA sporting events.
