Cesar Urquizo Ubillus

I am a Ph.D. Candidate at the Economics Department of the University of Pennsylvania.  My fields of study are Macroeconomics, Labor, and Inequality. 

I am on the Academic Job Market for the year 2024-2025.

In my job market paper, titled "Lifetime Hours Inequality and Occupational Choice", I look into the drivers of hours inequality between occupations and over the life cycle and how they affect lifetime earnings dispersion. I show that learning ability is a more important factor than previously acknowledged in the literature, which has implications for the effects on welfare and inequality of changing tax progressivity.
