Benny Kleinman
Welcome! I am a Saieh Family Fellow at the Becker Friedman Institute, University of Chicago. In July 2024, I will join Stanford University, first as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR), and then as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics.
I study secular changes in the structure of the economy and their distributional implications using tools from the intersection of international trade, macroeconomics, and spatial economics.
You can find my CV here.
