Paul Hufe is an economist working at the intersection of public, labor, and normative economics.

His research agenda is driven by two main objectives. First, he aims to strengthen the methodological toolkit to quantify the extent of inequality of opportunity in current societies. Second, he studies which circumstantial life factors cause the unequal distribution of life chances.

His research focuses on the development and implementation of econometric models of skill formation. His work on economics of education includes studies of the effectiveness of Catholic schools and of voucher programs, the importance of borrowing constraints in college going decisions, and general equilibrium models of the labor market.
