Sarah L. Winton

I am interested in how forced displacement and migration alter livelihoods and labor markets. My job market paper studies how granting Syrian refugees the legal right to

work in Jordan reshapes the allocation of both refugee and host labor, through workers re-sorting across occupations in general equilibrium. I predominantly work in the Middle East.

Prior to the LSE, I worked as a pre-doctoral researcher at Harvard University. I also worked at UNHCR Jordan under a Fulbright research grant. I received my BA in economics from the University of Pennsylvania.
