Timothy W. Guinnane focuses on economic
history, particularly the demographic and
financial development of Europe and North
America, and the role of institutions in
shaping long-term economic change. He is
the Philip Golden Bartlett Professor of
Economics at Yale University, where he has
been a faculty member since 1993. His
research examines economic and
demographic history, with particular
attention to households, migration, credit
cooperatives, and legal institutions. He
earned his PhD in economics from Stanford
University and held earlier academic
positions as a postdoctoral fellow at the
University of Pennsylvania and as an
Assistant Professor of Economics at
Princeton University.
