Jacob Meyer

I am a fifth-year PhD candidate in Economics at Cornell University. Before my PhD, I completed a MS in Economics from Utah State University and worked as a research associate in the experimental economics lab at the Center for Growth and Opportunity.  My research uses experiments and other empirical methods to learn how people respond to information and rules, especially in settings involving criminal justice, education, and risky health behaviors.

In Fall 2026, I will join the the Department of Economics and Finance at Idaho State University as an Assistant Professor.
