Christopher S. Ruebeck is a Professor in the Department of Economics at Lafayette College's College of Arts and Sciences, where he has been a faculty member since September 2000. He also previously taught at Johns Hopkins University and Loyola College in Maryland. His academic journey includes a Ph.D. in Economics from Johns Hopkins University (2000), an M.A. in Economics from Stanford University (1995), an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University (1988), and a B.S.E.E. from Purdue University (1986).
Ruebeck's research spans multiple areas within economics, with a particular focus on Agent-Based Computational Economics, Industrial Organization, Game Theory, and Environmental Economics. His work demonstrates a strong interdisciplinary approach, combining economic theory with computational methods. He has published extensively in journals such as Computational Economics, Eastern Economic Journal, and Journal of Population Economics, with recent work exploring pedagogical partnerships during the pandemic, payment-for-performance programs, and economic lessons through historical and cultural lenses like the Hamilton musical.
His publication record shows a consistent trajectory of scholarly output over two decades, with increasing focus on computational methods and interdisciplinary applications. Recent publications (2020-2022) emphasize practical applications of economic theory to contemporary issues including pandemic education, environmental policy, and historical economic analysis. Earlier work (2000-2010) focused more on industrial organization, market dynamics, and identity economics.
