WELCOME!

I am Irisa Zhou, a Ph.D. candidate at the Economics Department at University of Toronto. My research understands how microeconomic constraints shape macroeconomic consequences.

Questions that interest me:

  • How do information frictions distort the labor market?
  • How do innate advantages (such as socio-economic endowments or prior accumulation upon shocks) scale up to influence the aggregate economy?

You can find my CV here.

Research Interests: Macro, Labor, Education, AI
