Isaiah Andrews

Isaiah Andrews is the Charles E. and Susan T. Harris Professor of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), holding a faculty position in the Department of Economics. His office is located in E52-530, with administrative support from Noah Siderhurst. Andrews maintains an active research profile centered on econometric methodology and theoretical foundations.

His research program focuses on Econometrics with significant contributions to structural estimation, causal inference, and model misspecification. Key interests include instrumental variables methods, weak identification robustness, research transparency, and inference in complex settings. Andrews' work bridges theoretical econometrics with practical applications across economic subfields, emphasizing methodological rigor and reproducibility.

Analysis of his 2017-2025 publications reveals consistent innovation in econometric theory, particularly in structural estimation under misspecification, inference for multiple testing scenarios, and transparency frameworks. His work demonstrates increasing emphasis on foundational methodological challenges with direct implications for empirical economics, featuring recurring themes of robustness, identification, and causal interpretation.

Andrews' scientific recognition includes:

• John Bates Clark Medal (2021)
• MacArthur Fellowship (2020)
• Fellow of the Econometric Society (2020)
• Sloan Research Fellowship (2018-2020)
• Robert M. Solow Prize for Excellence in Research and Teaching (2014)

His advisory activities and grant funding remain unspecified in available materials, though his publication record and prestigious awards indicate substantial research leadership. Andrews maintains active collaboration networks across econometrics and economic theory, with recent work addressing critical methodological gaps in empirical practice.
