David A. Jaeger
Professor of Economics and Public Policy

I am the Director of the Master of Public Policy program at the University of St Andrews and currently serve as the President of the European Society for Population Economics.
My research lies in applied microeconomics, with a particular focus on labor economics, education, (im)migration, causal inference, and applied econometrics.
I am open to PhD proposals in any of the areas above.
