Tianyi Wang

Welcome to my page!  I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Toronto.  I work primarily at the intersection of political economy and economic history.  My current research explores how media and information technologies influences politics and society, with a focus on historical American settings.  I also have research interests in health economics and applied microeconomics more broadly, in both historical and modern contexts.  

I am a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), an IZA Research Affiliate, and a faculty affiliate of U of Toronto's People's History Lab.  I received my Ph.D. in economics from the University of Pittsburgh and my B.A. from Colgate University.  Before coming to Toronto, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Copenhagen's Center for Economic Behavior and Inequality (CEBI) and at Princeton University's Industrial Relations Section.
