Biography
E. (Eric) Glen Weyl is a second-year Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows. He also spends each June in Toulouse, France as a visiting researcher at the Toulouse School of Economics (TSE).
Glen was born in San Francisco on May, 6 1985 and raised in the Bay Area before attending boarding school at Choate Rosemary Hall in Connecticut. He was valedictorian of Princeton’s 2007 class, receiving an AB in economics, followed by an MA and PhD in 2008.
Glen’s primary intellectual interests are in pure and applied microeconomic theory, with a focus on industrial organization, as well as the intersection between economics and other disciplines, particularly philosophy and evolutionary biology. His research, which he has presented at dozens of venues on three continents, addresses topics ranging from the career choices of talented students to the relationship between Simon Kuznets’s Russian Jewish heritage and his economic thinking.
His first two academic articles, one on two-sided markets and a second on individual rights, have just been published in Economics Letters and Politics, Philosophy and Economics respectively. A third article “A Price Theory of Multi-Sided Platforms” is forthcoming in the American Economic Review. His current research includes:
- Developing a new model of first-order econometric identification and applying it to industrial organization
- Designing market institutions, such intellectual property (joint with Jean Tirole) and systems for assembling disparately owned property (joint with Scott Kominers)
- Theory and experiments, joint with Megan Frederickson and other co-authors, on cooperation between species, especially plants and ants
- Connecting and testing (with Yali Miao) stability, uniqueness and comparative statics in multi-dimensional equilibrium systems
Glen served as a preceptor (teaching assistant) for Financial Economics I, a second-year PhD asset pricing course, at Princeton and has been a guest lecturer in several classes at Princeton and TSE. He is also a referee for scholarly journals including the American Economic Review, Econometrica, the Journal of Political Economy and the Quarterly Journal of Economics. He has been an academic visitor at universities and ministries in Brazil, Chile and México, as well as a research intern at the US Department of Justice Antitrust Division.
Outside his academic life, Glen serves on the advisory board of Esopus, an art magazine. In August 2010, he plans to marry to Alisha C. Holland; his girlfriend since freshman year of college, a Harvard Ph. D. student in government and the winner of the Pyne Prize (Princeton’s highest undergraduate honor).
