Hello!

I am an applied microeconomist with a focus in health and gender economics.  My research topics include abortion restrictions, contraceptive access, sex education, and teenage fertility. 

My job market paper analyzes the effect of expanded access to emergency contraceptive pills on teenage fertility and women's educational attainment. 

I have successfully defended my dissertation and graduated from American University with a PhD and M.A. in Economics in August of 2025. I have a B.A. in Economics and a B.A. in Mathematical Sciences from Eastern Connecticut State University.  

I am available for interviews. Please see my CV for more information. You may contact me via email at catherineafalvey@gmail.com.
