Kit Zhou, Economist

I am an assistant professor at the College of the Holy Cross, Department of Economics and Accounting. Previously, I was an assistant professor at Southeastern Louisiana University. I earned my bachelor’s degree at Vassar College (Economics and Mathematics, Class of 2015) and completed my PhD in Economics at Michigan State University in 2024.

My main body of research applies two-sided matching theory to the US foster care system and college admissions, among other matching markets. My research combines theoretical modeling with empirical analysis. I am particularly interested in better understanding how to characterize opportunity, equity, and efficiency in these markets.
