Biography

Edward Vytlacil is a professor in the Department of Economics at Yale University. He is an econometrician whose work focuses on micro-econometric methodology, particularly on treatment effect policy evaluation using disaggregate data. His research theme allows treatment effects to vary among individuals, facilitating their capacity to act based on knowledge of their own idiosyncratic treatment effects. In addition to his methodological contributions, he has published empirical work in labor economics and health economics, evaluating the returns to schooling, job training programs, and the effectiveness of medical interventions. Edward earned his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Chicago in 2000. Before rejoining the faculty at Yale, he held faculty positions at Stanford University, Columbia University, and New York University.
