Oscar Volpe

Welcome! I am an economist studying topics in labor. My research also draws on econometrics, public economics, and industrial organization.

I will join Harvard University as an Assistant Professor of Economics in July 2026, after a one-year postdoctoral fellowship in the department.

My CV is linked here.
