Philip Gordon Hoxie

I am a PhD candidate in economics at the University of California, San Diego on the 2026-2027 academic job market, and a research affiliate at the UCSD Center for Economic Policy Analysis in the state and local government performance and affordable housing initiatives. My research evaluates the impacts and effectiveness of government policy. I work primarily in applied public economics and labor economics, with empheses on regulation, housing markets, intergovernmental grants, and emergency food aid. My work has been supported by the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation (through the National Bureau of Economic Research), and Arnold Ventures. I have published academic work in the Journal of Public Economics, the Journal of Law and Economics, and the Journal of Macroeconomics, and policy writing in the Milken Institute Review, in VoxEu, at the Cato Institute, and at the American Enterprise Institute.
