Tymon Sloczynski

Tymon Słoczyński is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics and International Business School (IBS) at Brandeis University. He is affiliated with CESifo and the Institute of Labor Economics (IZA). His research focuses on microeconometrics, applied econometrics, causal inference, and economic history. Previously, he held positions at the Warsaw School of Economics, including a Robert Solow Postdoctoral Fellowship. He holds a Ph.D. and M.A. from the Warsaw School of Economics, an M.Phil. from the University of Cambridge, and an M.A. from Warsaw University.

His research interests emphasize methodological advancements in causal inference, particularly through econometric tools like weighting estimators and software development (e.g., Stata modules). He also explores economic history using innovative data sources such as palynological records to analyze historical economic trends. His work bridges theoretical econometrics and practical applications in labor economics and policy evaluation.

Key contributions include clarifying the interpretation of OLS and instrumental variable (IV) estimands under heterogeneous treatment effects, advocating for rigorous simulation studies in estimator selection, and applying quantitative methods to ancient and medieval economic history. His affiliations with leading institutions like IZA and CESifo reflect his interdisciplinary impact.

While no specific grants or advising details are provided, his educational background underscores expertise in both theoretical and applied economics. His work on economic history leverages environmental data to reconstruct historical economic activities, offering unique insights into long-term trends.
