Biography

Andrew Haughwout is an Adjunct Professor of Law at New York University School of Law, where he also serves as the Interim Director and Head of the Research Statistics Group at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. His work extensively covers the intersection of urban governance and economics, focusing on the dynamics of urban areas characterized by increased density.

He is particularly interested in the regulatory challenges associated with diverse urban populations and the role of local governments in managing these dynamics. His courses delve into the unique characteristics of urban life, examining governance challenges, climate change responses, and economic development, as well as the roles cities play in wealth redistribution. With a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and a BA from Swarthmore College, Haughwout integrates academic rigor with practical insights from his research and administrative experience within federal reserve systems.
