Mathieu Taschereau-Dumouchel

Mathieu Taschereau-Dumouchel is an Associate Professor of Economics at Cornell University, located at 480 Uris Hall, Ithaca NY. His research spans macroeconomics, labor economics, and production network theory with significant contributions to understanding business cycles, uncertainty, and technological change.

His research interests focus on endogenous production networks, business cycle dynamics, labor market frictions, and the propagation of shocks through economic systems. He investigates how input-output linkages, time-to-build lags, and firm-level decisions collectively shape aggregate economic outcomes, with particular attention to recession mechanisms, technological adoption patterns, and the distributional effects of economic policies. His work combines theoretical modeling with empirical validation using data from diverse sources including Spanish firm-level data and Chinese manufacturing surveys.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals consistent exploration of network-based economic dynamics, with increasing focus on supply chain disruptions and endogenous risk formation. His work demonstrates how micro-level firm decisions regarding technology adoption, risk management, and production organization create emergent macroeconomic phenomena including uncertainty traps, coordination failures, and persistent fluctuations. The research shows particular attention to the structural properties of production networks and their cyclical reorganization.

His teaching portfolio includes ECON 3040 (Intermediate Macroeconomic Theory) for undergraduates since 2018, ECON 6130 (Macroeconomics) for PhD students since 2017, and previously taught macroeconomics courses at Wharton (FNCE 613, FNCE 924, and FNCE 101). While specific grant information isn't detailed in the provided text, his research program spans multiple high-impact publications in top journals including Econometrica, Review of Economic Studies, and Journal of Political Economy.

His work has been presented at major conferences including the Cowles Macro Summer Conference, Tepper-LAEF Conference, and San Francisco Fed Macro Conference, where he has discussed papers by prominent economists on topics ranging from payments-chain crises to optimal monetary policy in production networks.
