Tyler J. Wake
Job Market Candidate
University of Virginia

Tyler is a PhD candidate in Economics at the University of Virginia. He is on the job market in the 2023-24 cycle. 

Fields: Macroeconomics, Financial Economics, Finance

Research: Tyler's job market paper (pdf) focuses on business relationships common to the supply chain, and how firms rely on each other for short-term credit and inputs. He demonstrates the macroeconomic significance of these relationships by showing the decline in output resulting from temporary Covid-19 interruptions to business relationships. His other research focuses on aspects of practical and theoretical finance: one paper documents the investment decisions of retirees and individuals nearing retirement and another paper investigates cross-market general-equilibrium price effects from financial innovation.
