Magnus Irie is an Assistant Professor of Economics at Princeton University. His research focuses on macroeconomics, finance, and wealth inequality. His job market paper, 'Innovations in Entrepreneurial Finance and Top Wealth Inequality', explores how improved entrepreneurial equity financing affects top wealth inequality, highlighting the countervailing forces of risk sharing and equity financing. Through empirical analysis, he suggests that trends in U.S. data underscore the significant impact of capital reallocation on wealth distribution. His publications include 'Rapid Dynamics of Top Wealth Shares: The Role of Family Firms?' in the American Economic Review: Insights (2022), which investigates the factors contributing to the rapid shifts in wealth inequality at the top of the distribution. He is also working on papers analyzing wealth inequality in relation to changing asset valuations and the impact of family firms on wealth distribution over the last century.
