Basil Halperin

I am an assistant professor of economics at the University of Virginia. My research focuses on topics in monetary economics, macroeconomic growth, and AI.

I received my PhD in economics from MIT in 2024. In past lives, I worked as a data scientist at Uber and as a quant at AQR Capital Management. I did my undergrad at the University of Chicago.

If you have questions or comments about my research – or want to discuss research ideas – I’d love to talk with you (email, Twitter).

I also write the occasional blog (email subscription here), am a Digital Fellow at the Stanford Digital Economy Lab, and run the Stripe Economics of AI Fellowship.
