Jacob Kohlhepp

Assistant Professor

UNC Chapel Hill

I am an assistant professor of economics and the John Stewart Fellow at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am an applied microeconomist with a background in theory and labor. My CV is available here.

My research agenda focuses on how human resource decisions within firms shape markets, but this is more of a common thread than a rule. I believe an idea is worth pursuing if it feels like magic and truth at the same time.

UPDATE: “Delegated Recruitment and Statistical Discrimination” has been accepted. I will be presenting at the University of Rochester Simon School of Business in December.
