Greetings, my name is Ryan Dycus.

I am completing the final year of my Ph.D. in Economics at Cornell University, with an anticipated graduation date of August 2026.

I am seeking private-sector employment in economic consulting, marketing analytics, behavioral R&D, or related roles. You can find my current CV here (link).

My research lies in health behavior, with a focus on understanding the drivers of nicotine and tobacco consumption, primarily using survey and experimental methods. My job market paper studies the reluctance of older smokers to adopt e-cigarettes as reduced-harm alternatives to traditional cigarettes.
