Casey Rothschild joined the Economics faculty as an assistant professor in the fall of 2006, shortly after completing his dissertation under the supervision of Muhamet Yildiz and Peter Diamond at MIT. His dissertation focused on insurance markets: it examined annuity markets as well as the implications of informational asymmetries for regulatory bans on categorical discrimination such as gender- or gene-neutral pricing requirements. Prior to his graduate studies in economics, he attended Princeton University where he received his bachelor’s degree (AB, physics). Between Princeton and MIT, he taught economics and mathematics for three years at the Roxbury Latin School in Boston.
His research interests include areas of Public Economics such as annuity markets, Social Security reform and optimal taxation, as well as Microeconomic Theory. His research has been published in The Journal of Economic Theory, the National Bureau of Economics Research Working Papers series, and Geophysical Research Letters.
