STANFORD, CA - The Hoover Institution at Stanford University is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Tyler Goodspeed as the Kleinheinz Fellow. From 2020 to 2021, Goodspeed served as acting chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, having been appointed by the president as a member of the council in 2019. Prior to his appointment, he served the council as Senior Economist for Tax and Macroeconomics from 2017 to 2018, and as Chief Economist for Macroeconomic Policy from 2018 to 2019. Goodspeed is a widely published academic with a PhD in history (Harvard), an MPhil in historical studies (University of Cambridge), a master’s degree in history (Harvard), and a bachelor’s degree in economics and history (Harvard).
Condoleezza Rice, Director of the Hoover Institution, said: “We are pleased to welcome Tyler to the Hoover Institution, where he will continue to make important contributions toward the development of economic and monetary policy, especially as the nation—and the world—looks to what a post-COVID economy might look like.”
Goodspeed was on the Faculty of Economics at the University of Oxford and was a lecturer in economics at King’s College London. He has published extensively on financial regulation, banking, and monetary economics, with particular attention to the role of access to credit in mitigating the effects of adverse aggregate shocks in historical contexts, especially exogenous environmental shocks. His research has appeared in three full-length monographs from academic presses, as well as in numerous articles in peer-reviewed and edited journals. He is a current member of the American Economic Association and the Economic History Association, a former member of the Economic History Society and the Royal Economic Society, and an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute.
