Natalia Emanuel

I'm an economist whose research focuses on workplace practices that help firms and workers thrive and on policies affecting individuals at vulnerable moments.

My book, In Person, which explores how to do remote work well, is forthcoming in October 2026. 

I serve as a research economist at the New York Federal Reserve Bank. I received my PhD in economics from Harvard in 2021, after which I completed a postdoc at Princeton's Industrial Relations Section. Prior to doctoral study, I received a BA in Economics at Yale University and an MSc in Evidence-Based Social Policy from Oxford University, where I studied as a Marshall Scholar. 

I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do and have sewn 18 quilts.
