Connie Xu

Hello! I’m a PhD candidate in health policy and economics at Harvard University. I study the economics of science and health care, with a particular focus on innovation in the life sciences.

I will be on the 2026-2027 job market.

My research is supported by the National Institute on Aging and the National Science Foundation. I am an NBER Fellow for Fiscal and Economic Effects of Innovation and Productivity Policies and a graduate affiliate of the Institute for Quantitative Social Science.

Previously, I was a pre-doctoral fellow at MIT. Before that, I attended the University of Chicago, where I graduated in 2019 with a BA in Economics and a BA in Statistics.
