Ackman Professor of Economics at Harvard University. His research seeks to answer one question: What can be done to revive the American dream? At Opportunity Insights, he uses big data to study the factors that influence economic opportunity, especially for those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Combining empirical evidence and economic theory, Chetty reveals the barriers to upward mobility and develops the government policy changes necessary to remove them. Chetty’s areas of research are inspired by the issues affecting everyday people, including how zip code, social capital, race, and even one’s kindergarten teacher affects chances of upward economic mobility. His work has been widely cited in academia, media outlets, and Congressional testimony. Chetty has received numerous awards for his research, including the John Bates Clark medal, given to the economist under 40 whose work is judged to have made the most significant contribution to the field.\n \n \n
