Magne Mogstad

Magne Mogstad is The Gary S. Becker Distinguished Service Professor in Economics at the University of Chicago. His work is motivated by the broad question of how to address market failures and equalize opportunities, and aims to provide empirical evidence that allows us to test economic theories and inform policymakers.

This is made possible by combining theory and credible empirical methods with large administrative datasets that can be linked to supplementary data sources. Mogstad has published extensively in leading scholarly journals.

He is the editor of the Journal of Political Economy and the Journal of Public Economics, and he is the recipient of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship and the IZA Young Labor Economist award.
