Economics professors Dan Benjamin (UCLA), David Cesarini (NYU), David Laibson (Harvard University), and their co-authors will employ a fulltime research analyst with a start date during the summer of 2021.

Current projects include identifying genetic variants associated with educational attainment and risk preferences, creating optimal genetic predictors for a range of behavioral traits, and developing new statistical methods.
