Andrew Caplin is Silver Professor of Economics at NYU and a Fellow of the Econometric Society renowned for his interdisciplinary approach to economics and social science. As a leader in Cognitive Economics, he consistently challenges academic boundaries to drive innovation. His forward-thinking vision is evident in his early proposals for housing finance reform in Housing Partnerships (MIT Press, 1997), ideas now gaining traction nearly 30 years later. Caplin leads the National Bureau of Economic Research Program on Behavioral Macroeconomics and the Sloan Foundation Grant on Cognitive Economics at Work, focusing on impactful research. His forthcoming article, “Data Engineering for Cognitive Economics,” in the Journal of Economic Literature, and his book, “An Introduction to Cognitive Economics: The Science of Mistakes,” in the Palgrave-MacMillan Pivot series, highlight the scientific and practical importance of Cognitive Economics for policy and business.
