Marty Haoyuan Chen

Welcome! I am a PhD candidate in the Economics Department at the University of Maryland, College Park. I am a 2026-2027 NBER Doctoral Dissertation Fellow. I am on the 2026-2027 academic job market.

 I am an applied microeconomist working in labor and public economics, with a focus on the economics of education. I study how parental investments, admissions policies, and generative AI tools shape educational and labor market outcomes. My work combines quasi-experimental analysis of large-scale administrative data with laboratory and field experiments, and informs both the evaluation of existing education policies and the design of new ones.

Here's my Curriculum Vitae.
