I am an applied economist from Silver Spring, Maryland. In Spring 2022, I graduated with a PhD in Economics from the University of Texas at Austin, then began work as an Economist at the Innovative Policy Lab a.k.a. Research Improving People's Lives a.k.a. RIPL. In Spring 2025, I began working as a data scientist at Capital One.

My research is focused on education policy, labor markets, and econometrics. In one paper, my coauthors and I analyze the prevalence of formal and informal tracking of students for math classes in elementary and middle schools in Texas. We also explore a number of institutional correlates of tracking and provide suggestive evidence that tracking in its most common forms does not harm students at the bottom of the test score distribution.

My full name is Akiva Yonah Shuch Meiselman, I publish as Akiva Yonah Meiselman, and I am usually called Yonah. My pronouns are he/him.
