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 does information friction 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? 

I am on the 2025 - 2026 Job market. You can find my CV here.
