Benjamin Golub is a Professor in the Department of Economics at Northwestern University's Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences. He holds a PhD from the Stanford Graduate School of Business (2012). His research focuses on social and economic networks, including models of social learning, local public goods, peer effects, and social capital formation. A key theme is developing theory-based network summary statistics for empirical and policy applications.
His research interests span network dynamics, economic fragility, and strategic behavior within interconnected systems. Recent work examines information diffusion, market interventions, and organizational resilience. He has contributed to understanding how network structures influence economic outcomes, particularly through mechanisms like multiplexing, spillovers, and endogenous behavior.
Notable contributions include studies on corporate culture's role in fragility, exit spirals in coupled markets, and India's demonetization crisis. His work bridges theoretical models with real-world policy implications, emphasizing robust interventions and systemic risk analysis.
Golub's research has been published in top economics journals, with a focus on networks' role in microeconomic theory, game theory, and development economics. He maintains an active website and CV accessible through his professional page.
