Martin Beraja is the Pentti Kouri Career Development Assistant Professor of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), as well as a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). He is a macroeconomist who has studied business cycles and stabilization policy, the costs of inflation, and how technological innovations shape inequality and economic growth. He has tackled these questions by sometimes developing theory, sometimes using novel data and empirics, but most often by bringing the two together.
