On the 2025–2026 economics job market
Qilu (Lisa) Pan is a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at Purdue University's Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. School of Business, expected to graduate in August 2026. Her research explores how public policies—tax credits, minimum wages, social insurance, and import competition—shape labor supply, household decision-making, and health outcomes over the life cycle.
Her job market paper develops a framework for how nonlinear tax schedules, focusing on the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), reshape labor supply responses to local wage shocks. Her dissertation committee is chaired by Victoria Prowse, with Kevin Mumford, Tim Bond, and Ben Zou.
