Life and education[]

Raised in Philadelphia and Chicago, Schulhofer-Wohl studied physics and economics at Swarthmore College while preparing for a career as a journalist.[5] He spent four years working as a copy editor and reporter at The Journal-Standard, the Birmingham Post-Herald, and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, before returning to Chicago for a PhD in economics at the University of Chicago.[6]

Research[]

Schulhofer-Wohl's research focuses on applied econometrics, monetary policy, and macroeconomics.[2][7] With Miguel Garrido, he showed that the 2007 closure of The Cincinnati Post affected voter turnout and the re-election chances for incumbents.[3][8] With Greg Kaplan, he has studied the decline in migration among American workers.[9][10]
