Alexandra V. (Lexi) Schubert

I am a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Center for Effective Action (CEGA) at the University of California Berkeley, and I will join Wesleyan University as Assistant Professor of Economics in the Fall of 2026.

My research is at the intersection of behavioral and development economics, exploring how physiological and psychological factors shape economic decision-making and well-being in low-income settings.

I received my BA in Economics and Cognitive Science from the University of Virginia in the US and my PhD in Economics from the University of Zurich in Switzerland.

My CV is available here.
