Paula Donaldson

I am a PhD Candidate in Economics at UC San Diego. I am a macroeconomist with work that spans fiscal policy, monetary economics, and international economics. My research agenda focuses on the value added by cross-sectional data and cross-sectional identification methods to answer macroeconomic questions.

Previously, I worked in the Research Department of the Central Bank of Argentina and studied Economics at the University of Buenos Aires. In Summer 2025, I was a Dissertation Fellow at the Federal Reserve Board.

I am on the 2025-2026 job market.
