Welcome to my website! My name is Ara Patvakanian (Արա Պատվականյան). I am passionate about bringing theoretical and empirical tools to bear on studying various problems of economic and political consequence. I am a fellow in the Department of Economics at Harvard University and a senior research associate at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. Previously, I earned my undergraduate degree at the University of Pennsylvania.

In my free time, I enjoy playing music, learning languages, and reading literature.
