Biography

Clement Bohr is an Adjunct Assistant Professor at UCLA Anderson School of Management and a Senior Economist involved with the UCLA Anderson Forecast. His research focuses on areas such as monetary economics, business cycles, and the structural technological changes associated with economic growth. He is particularly interested in how economies evolve over time and how these changes influence business cycle dynamics. His recent work has highlighted how the expansion of firms' capacity buffers has contributed to the observed flattening of the Phillips curve over the past fifty years. Bohr has been recognized as a Young Economist Prize Finalist at the European Central Bank’s annual forum on central banking, which provided him the opportunity to present his work to leading central bank officials globally. He will begin teaching the MBA course on Global Economics and Business Cycles starting in 2026. Bohr completed his doctoral studies at Northwestern University, where he received multiple distinguished teaching awards for his instruction in macroeconomics and international finance. Additionally, he contributed to the revision and extension of the monetary economics section of Karlan and Morduch’s textbook, 'Economics'. He earned his undergraduate degrees in Physics and Economics as an Echols Scholar from the University of Virginia in 2017, and he is set to finish his PhD in Economics from Northwestern University in spring 2024. Bohr is expected to visit Columbia Business School during the 2024-2025 academic year as a postdoctoral researcher under Joseph Stiglitz.
