Chao Fu

I am the Mary Claire Aschenbrenner Phipps Professor of Economics at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. My broad research area is empirical microeconomics that combines economic theories and econometrics tools to study policy relevant questions. My research covers a wide range of topics, including education, urban policing, worker training, post-disaster reallocation and health insurance systems. A common theme of my research has been evaluating policy impacts from an equilibrium perspective.
