Professor Emeritus of Economics
About
Miles Kimball has been a part of the Economics Department since 1987. His research interests cover many subfields, many of them centering around the questions of what utility functions can best represent people's preferences. Since beginning his blog "Confessions of a Supply-Side Liberal" in May 2012 he has become more heavily engaged with economic policy, including monetary policy, financial stability, technological progress in education and tax policy. He has been an advocate internationally for restoring full power to monetary policy by eliminating the zero lower bound and for careful measurement of national well-being using subjective well-being measures in a principled way.
