Jesús Villero

I am an applied microeconomist at the Penn Wharton Budget Model, working with the demographic microsimulation and policy analysis teams.

My research bridges labor economics, public economics, and economic demography to inform public policy.

I earned a Ph.D. in Economics from Georgia State University, where I was affiliated with the Georgia Policy Labs, and an M.A. in Economics from Georgetown University. Between degrees, I helped run randomized controlled trials at Innovations for Poverty Action. Learn more about me here.
