Né(e): March 29, 1946 – Detroit, Michigan, United States
Robert J. Shiller is an American economist and Yale professor known for pioneering behavioral finance and studying asset prices, bubbles, and economic narratives. He wrote Irrational Exuberance and co-wrote Animal Spirits, and received the 2013 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for empirical analysis of asset prices.
Robert J. Shiller, born in Detroit on March 29, 1946, came of age in a Lithuanian-American family and developed an unusually broad curiosity early. In his Nobel autobiographical sketch, he recalled a restless childhood, a strong attraction to reading, and a decisive moment in high school when his older brother brought home Paul Samuelson’s economics textbook, which convinced him that economics could be pursued as a serious science. He began college at Kalamazoo College, transferred to the University of Michigan, earned his BA in 1967, and then completed an SM in 1968 and a PhD in 1972 at MIT. After early appointments at Pennsylvania and Minnesota, he joined Yale in 1982, the institution most closely associated with his career.
