Rosa Kleinman

Rosa Kleinman studied Economics and Math at Yale. She served as an EGC Economics Research Intern in summer 2021, where she worked on the environmental clearances project. Rosa was also awarded the Ronald Meltzer/Cornelia Awdziewicz Economic Award for her senior economics essay, “Transaction Costs and the Take-up of Social Safety Net Programs: Evidence from the Combined Application Project,” supervised by Cormac O’Dea. After graduating, Rosa will work as a pre–doctoral fellow at MIT and is interested in pursuing an Economics PhD in the future.

It's truly been a pleasure to see Rosa mature as an economist and to see her interests in social and public policy take shape. We look forward to hearing about her times at MIT as a predoc and beyond! – Rohini Pande, Henry J. Heinz II Professor of Economics and Director of the Economic Growth Center
