Дата рождения: April 05, 1959 – Kansas City, Missouri, United States
Ian Ayres is an American lawyer, economist, and Yale Law School professor whose work spans law and economics, behavioral regulation, discrimination, and data-driven decision-making. He is the author of Super Crunchers, Why Not?, and Carrots and Sticks, and his scholarship has significantly shaped empirical legal studies and public-policy debates.
Ian Ayres was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, and built an unusually interdisciplinary academic foundation before becoming one of the most recognizable public-facing figures in law-and-economics scholarship. He earned a B.A. from Yale University in 1981, majoring in Russian studies and economics, a J.D. from Yale Law School in 1986, and a Ph.D. in economics from MIT in 1988, then clerked for Judge James K. Logan of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. After teaching at Harvard, Illinois, Northwestern, Stanford, and Virginia, he established his long-term home at Yale, where he has served as the Oscar M. Ruebhausen Professor of Law and also held appointments in management and public health. A defining early turn in his career came through empirical studies on discrimination, contracts, and regulation, especially his research on race and gender bias in retail car negotiations, which helped establish his reputation for testing legal claims with data rather than relying only on theory.
