Zoë Hitzig is an economist and poet based in Boston, Massachusetts. She is a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows.
Career
Hitzig received an AB in Mathematics from Harvard College in 2016 and a PhD in Economics from Harvard University in 2023.[1] Her doctoral advisor was Eric Maskin, and her graduate study was supported by a PhD Fellowship from Microsoft Research.[2]
Scholarship
With Vitalik Buterin, founder of Ethereum, and Glen Weyl, researcher at Microsoft, Hitzig developed the ideas behind "quadratic funding."[3] Quadratic funding has been used to allocate over $20 million to open-source software projects, primarily through Gitcoin Grants.[4]
Hitzig has written on mechanism design, contract theory and artificial intelligence.[5][6] Her scholarly work has been described as "expanding the scope of economics."[7] In an interview, Hitzig has stated, "What excites me about economics is its power to expand social and political imagination."[8]
Writing
Hitzig's second poetry collection, Not Us Now, was selected by Louise Glück as winner of the 2023 Changes Book Prize.[9] It will be published in May 2024. Her first poetry collection, Mezzanine, was published by Ecco in 2020. It was described by Tracy K. Smith as possessing "an ageless stark wisdom, calling us to decide who and what we are, and what we are willing to heed."[10]
Her poems have appeared in publications such as The New Yorker, The Paris Review and Harper's.[11] Her essays and criticism have appeared in Artforum, WIRED, and BOMB Magazine.[12][13][14]
