David Van Dijcke

• I am an incoming Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Virginia. I am currently a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Michigan, as well as an Academic Visitor at the Bank of England, and an Honorary Fellow of the Belgian American Educational Foundation.
• My Job Market Paper for the 2025-26 job market is available here.
• My research develops new econometric tools for causal inference with complex outcomes and covariates—such as distributions, networks, and functions—and applies them to study policies from return-to-office mandates to internet shutdowns.
• You can book a meeting with me via this link or find my CV here.

To make sure I was well-prepared for a career in economics, I got a BA in theatre. You can find the evidence here.
