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.

NEWS: I will be presenting “The Wheel of (Over)Time” at INSEAD, University of Cologne, Goethe University Frankfurt, LMU Munich, University of Mannheim, and NBER Labor Studies. Please reach out if you are in the area and would like to meet.
