We are thrilled to announce that Paula Donaldson will join the economics department as an Assistant Professor beginning July 1, 2026.

Paula brings an outstanding research agenda in macroeconomics, with work spanning fiscal, monetary, and international economic policy. Her research agenda focuses on the value added by cross-sectional data and cross-sectional identification methods to answer macroeconomic questions. We are excited to welcome Paula to Brown and look forward to her contributions to the department!
