Minnesota Economics Seminar

Eric Zwick (Chicago Booth) will present "Top Wealth in the United States: New Estimates and Implications for Taxing the Rich"
Event Date & Time

Eric Zwick is an Associate Professor of Finance and FAMA Faculty Fellow at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business.  

He studies the interaction between public policy and corporate behavior, with a focus on fiscal stimulus, taxation and housing policy. His research draws insights from finance and behavioral economics while using a variety of methods: new data, natural experiments, theory and anecdotal exploration.

Zwick is particularly interested in the problems that small and medium-sized private firms and new ventures face, from the perspective of owners, investors, managers and workers. A secondary area of interest concerns the role of bounded rationality and imperfect information in the design of policies that promote behavior change. This work focuses on determinants of habit formation in health and workforce productivity settings.
