Patrick A.
Testa
Assistant Professor of Economics
Tulane University

Welcome to my site! I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at Tulane University.
My current research lies at the intersection of political economy, economic geography, and public economics. My topics of interest include migration, conflict, and culture, in both historical and theoretical perspective.
Currently, I am interested in the interplay between culture and institutions in U.S. economic history, with an emphasis on racial violence and exclusion.
My work has been published in academic journals such as the Quarterly Journal of Economics, the Journal of Public Economics, and the Economic Journal.
