About

Welcome to my professional page!

I'm Benjamin O. Harrison, a third-year PhD student in Economics at Emory University, with research interests in econometrics and causal inference.

Before coming to Emory, I earned a B.A. in Economics and Mathematics from the University of Ghana, Legon, and an M.Sc. in Quantitative Economics through the Erasmus Mundus Joint Degree Program, jointly awarded by Ca'Foscari University of Venice and the Catholic University of Louvain.

I enjoy thinking deeply about economic questions, learning new methods, and working on research that blends theory, data, and real-world policy relevance.

Outside of economics, I enjoy reading theology and biblical commentaries, hiking, and playing volleyball.
