Michael Gelman

Michael Gelman is an assistant professor of economics at The Robert Day School of Economics and Finance at Claremont McKenna College. His research investigates household financial decisions and the economic models that can best explain them.

He is interested in understanding what drives heterogeneity in responses—particularly for those with low income or liquidity. He received his B.S. in information systems from Carnegie Mellon University and his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Michigan.
