Daniel Kolliner is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at Kenyon College, where he teaches core and advanced undergraduate courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and economic policy. His academic work centers on understanding how political institutions shape the allocation of public goods and services.
His research lies at the intersection of applied microeconomics, political economy, and public economics. He employs rigorous quasi-experimental methods and innovative uses of publicly available data to identify causal effects of institutional structures on economic outcomes. His methodological focus includes causal inference and empirical policy evaluation.
Daniel completed his academic training with a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Maryland in 2022 and earned a Bachelor of Arts from Oberlin College in 2012. He has also held professional positions at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland and worked as a risk analyst, bringing real-world policy and analytical experience into his teaching and research.
At Kenyon, he has recently taught courses including Principles of Microeconomics (ECON 101), Principles of Macroeconomics (ECON 102), Understanding Economic Policy Using Data (ECON 330), Special Topics in American Economic Policy (ECON 391), The Evolution of Economic Policy (ECON 391), Political Economy (ECON 476), and Empirical Political Economy (ECON 491). These courses reflect his deep engagement with both theoretical and data-driven aspects of economic policy.
Although no specific publications, awards, or advisees are mentioned in the available text, his research agenda shows a strong commitment to policy-relevant scholarship using high-quality empirical methods. His work has the potential to inform institutional reforms and equitable public policy design.
