Matthias Doepke

Matthias Doepke is a professor of economics at Northwestern University. Born and raised in Germany, he first came to the United States to study economics at the University of Chicago. Doepke's research explores how decisions taken within families shape macroeconomic outcomes and how, in turn, economic conditions feed back into what families do. He is coauthor (with Fabrizio Zilibotti) of "Love, Money, and Parenting: How Economics Explains the Way We Raise Our Kids."
