My name is Casey McQuillan, and I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at Stockholm University. I received my Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2026.

My research interests are in labor economics, public finance, and applied microeconomics more broadly. I study how public policy shapes inequality, opportunity, and welfare through the interaction of insurance and labor markets. From 2022 to 2025, I served as an Operations Research Specialist with the Washington State Employment Security Department while completing my dissertation. My research has been supported by the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship Program, the United States Department of Labor, Policy Impacts at MIT, and Princeton’s Program for Research on Inequality.

Before beginning my Ph.D. at Princeton, I worked as a Senior Research Analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. I received my B.A. in Economics and Mathematics from Amherst College in 2018.
