Linh T. Tô

Linh T. Tô is an Assistant Professor of Economics at Boston University, currently on leave as a Visiting Assistant Professor at Stanford University. Her research focuses on labor economics with an emphasis on gender inequality and methodological advancements in empirical work. She employs a mix of quasi-experimental, structural, and experimental methods to analyze labor market dynamics, policy impacts, and behavioral economic phenomena. Her work bridges theoretical frameworks with practical policy implications, particularly in understanding worker preferences, employer practices, and consumer behavior.

Key research areas include labor supply dynamics, wage differentials, workplace flexibility pricing, and the gender wage gap. She has developed methodological tools such as Bayesian Adaptive Choice Experiments (BACE) and contributed to econometric techniques addressing measurement unit sensitivity. Tô collaborates extensively with scholars like Marshall Drake, Neil Thakral, and Hannah Illing, producing influential papers on topics ranging from anticipation effects in consumption to hiring practices influencing gender disparities.

Her academic contributions are reflected in journals such as the American Economic Review and the American Economic Association's Papers & Proceedings. She maintains an active GitHub presence, sharing packages like bace and tregs that facilitate reproducible research in economics. Tô holds a Ph.D. in Economics and actively participates in policy discussions through conference presentations and collaborative projects.
