Caroline Minter Hoxby (born 1966) is an American economist whose research focuses on issues in education and public economics.

[3] Hoxby graduated with summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard University in 1988, where she won a Hoopes Prize.

He is currently a faculty member in the English department at Stanford University and does scholarly work on John Milton and Renaissance theater.

After going after the speaker cords unsuccessfully, she allegedly grabbed a student's ear and twisted it until it bled, yelling "turn the music off right now".

Hoxby is a Principal Investigator of the Expanding College Opportunities project, a randomized controlled trial that had dramatic effects on low-income, high achievers' college-going.

This issue is now being addressed systematically owing to the project's evidence that individualized but inexpensive informational interventions cause students to take fuller advantage of their opportunities.
