Curriculum vitae

I am the Fairleigh Dickinson Jr., '41 Professor of Economics and a Faculty Affiliate in History at Williams College. I co-edit the European Review of Economic History, am a Research Associate with the Davis Center at Harvard, and serve as Co-PI on the NSF-funded Cliometrics Conference grant. In 2024, I am also a Visiting Professor at the University of Helsinki's Institute for Social Sciences and Humanities and a Faculty Fellow at the Oakley Center for Humanities and Social Sciences at Williams. Mostly an economic historian, my research covers a number of development-related questions in the context of late Imperial Russia. I teach a variety of different courses, from introductory economics, to economic history, to development, to the economics of innovation.
