Jonathan Presler
Welcome. I am a Research Economist in the FDIC's Division of Depositor and Consumer Protection. My research focuses on residential location decisions, applications of high frequency mobility data, peer effects, economics of education, discrimination and segregation, and homelessness. Prior to the FDIC, I completed a post-doctoral research fellowship at Saint Louis University after earning my PhD in Economics from Syracuse University.
