Matthew Jaremski

Matthew Jaremski is the F. Ross Peterson Professor of Economic History at the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business, Utah State University. He is also a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). His research examines financial dynamics in historical contexts, particularly the U.S. financial system pre-World War II, focusing on bank stability, panics, and policy impacts. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics from Vanderbilt University (2010) and has taught courses on capitalism, markets, and business leadership since 2018.

His research interests emphasize the pre-Federal Reserve era, analyzing state-regulated banks, liquidity risks, and the role of financial crises in shaping modern institutions. Key themes include interbank networks, deposit insurance effects, and the impact of government interventions like war bonds on savings and political outcomes.

Notable contributions include studies on the Panic of 1907, the 1933 Bank Holiday, and the founding of the Federal Reserve. Awards include the 2019 Researcher of the Year at USU. His work bridges historical analysis with contemporary financial policy debates, using archival data to inform understanding of systemic risk and financial stability.

Teaching focuses on foundational business concepts, with courses like 'Foundations of Business: Capitalism, Markets, and Innovation' offered repeatedly since 2020. His research has been featured in top journals such as the Journal of Finance and Journal of Economic History.
