Hi. My name is Jonah B. Gelbach.

I work on topics that could be said to fall within the following fields:

  • Law and economics
  • Econometric methodology
  • Public economics
  • Population, labor and human-resource economics

My empirical and methodological projects currently under way include, but aren't necessarily limited to, topics on

  • Discrimination
  • Securities litigation
  • Welfare reform
  • Tax policy
  • Bootstrap-based inference for clustered data

I also have a side interest in constitutional law, which I never seem to have enough time to indulge.

My CV is available here.

Here's some background on my post-grad school career:

  • Since the Fall term of 2007, I've been an associate professor in the University of Arizona's Department of Economics.
  • Before that, I spent 9 years as an assistant and then associate professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Maryland at College Park.
  • For the 2006-07 Academic Year, I was Visiting Professor of Law and Economics at the Florida State University College of Law.
  • I also spent two years (2001-03) as a Robert Wood Johnson Scholar in Health Policy at the University of California at Berkeley.
