Hello! I am a PhD candidate in economics at George Mason University. I am an applied microeconomist doing research in the fields of political economy and economic history. My research interest is the relationship between geography, institutions, conflict, and state-building.


My website has my current CV, a list of ongoing research projects and papers, and my teaching history. If you want to request a draft or chat about anything, please feel free to send me an email: pfitzsi [at] gmu.edu.
