Simon Fuchs, Research Economist

I am currently visiting as a lecturer at Dartmouth College and a research economist at the Atlanta Fed. You can find my CV here. I received my PhD from Toulouse School of Economics in 2018. I focus on the macroeconomic effects of the spatial distribution of economic activity. I work on topics in spatial, international, transportation and urban economics. I am one of the co-organizers of the Atlanta International Economics Workshop and an affiliate of the CESIfo research network.
