The Department of Economics is delighted to welcome Prof. Sean McCrary

Professor Sean McCrary

I am a macroeconomist with research interests in labor markets, firm dynamics, sovereign debt, and computational methods. 

My research explores topics such as what is the role of firm productivity heterogeneity on determining worker flows between employers and wage dynamics, computational strategies to quantify the role of earnings risk and its impact on life-cycle wealth and consumption decisions, and disentangling the roles of default and dilution risk in debt markets where borrowers lack commitment. 

I received my PhD in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania. At OSU I will teach an undergraduate course on Money and Banking and a PhD course on Search Theory and Applications.
