Max Longmuir

Max Longmuir is an economist whose work combines topics in household finance, labor economics, and distributional economics, with a special focus on wealth inequality. He examines questions such as the relevance of households’ portfolio choices on wealth inequality, and the effect of labor market risk on wealth accumulation processes. His research interests also include methods for measuring the wealth distribution, intergenerational mobility along the wealth distribution, and the interdependencies of inheritances and labor market outcomes. Longmuir received his Ph.D. from the Freie Universität Berlin in 2021 and was a postdoctoral scholar at the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, where he worked on intergenerational wealth inequality and its socio-demographic conditions in Germany. 

Longmuir joined the Stone Center in the fall semester of 2023.
