Coleson Weir

I am PhD Candidate in the Department of Economics at the University of Notre Dame focused on applied microeconomics. My research interests lie at the intersection of development economics and political economy. I investigate how institutions and gender influence economic and human development. I am currently examining electoral redistricting and gender quotas for political office. My research has been published in the Journal of Development Economics and the Journal of Population Economics.

I am a PhD Fellow at the Kellogg Institute for International Studies and a graduate student affiliate of the Building Inclusive Growth (BIG) Lab.
