John Geweke

John Geweke is the Charles R. Nelson Endowed Professor in Economics at the University of Washington, with joint appointments at the University of Technology Sydney and emeritus status at the University of Iowa. His research focuses on econometric theory, Bayesian modeling, and applications in macroeconomics and finance. He has supervised over 30 doctoral students and received prestigious fellowships including the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Economics, University of Minnesota (1975)
• B.S. in Social Sciences, Michigan State University (1970)

His research explores econometric methods for time series analysis, Bayesian inference in complex models, and financial econometrics. Geweke's work integrates theoretical rigor with practical applications in macroeconomic forecasting and decision-making under uncertainty.

Geweke's publications demonstrate consistent focus on Bayesian econometrics, time series analysis, and financial modeling, with recent emphasis on model comparison, prediction under uncertainty, and computational methods for high-dimensional problems.

Awards and Honors:

• Fellow of the Econometric Society
• Fellow of the American Statistical Association
• Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow (1982-1984)
• H. I. Romnes Faculty Fellowship

He has mentored numerous PhD students and secured significant research funding from NSF and ARC for projects on Bayesian computation and economic modeling. Geweke leads methodological developments at the intersection of statistics and economics.
