Biography

Professor Timothy Feddersen joined the faculty of Kellogg School of Management in 1995, serving as the Wendell Hobbs Professor of Managerial Politics. His research focuses on how elections aggregate dispersed information, the linkage of information to participation in elections, and the modeling of ethically motivated agents in games. He investigates the bargaining processes within legislatures and the informal roles that activists play in the economy. Currently, he is examining the impact of money in politics and the emergence of income inequality alongside the value of transparency in advisory committees. Professor Feddersen teaches courses on Leadership, Strategic Crisis Management, and Ethics in Leadership, emphasizing how leaders can anticipate the reactions of stakeholder groups to organizational actions and media coverage. His work further integrates theory and practice, engaging students with real-world crises through case studies and practical simulations. He is an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and has published several influential papers in his field.
