E. (Eric) Glen Weyl is about to begin his third and final year as a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows.  He also spends each June in Toulouse, France as a visiting researcher at the Toulouse School of Economics (TSE).

Glen was born in San Francisco on May, 6 1985 and raised in the Bay Area before attending boarding school at Choate Rosemary Hall in Connecticut. He was valedictorian of Princeton University's 2007 class, receiving an AB in economics, followed by an MA and PhD in 2008.

Glen's primary intellectual interests are in pure and applied price theory, with a focus on industrial organization, as well as the intersection between economics and other disciplines, particularly history, philosophy and evolutionary biology. His research, which he has presented at scores of venues on three continents, addresses topics ranging from the career choices of talented students to the design of institutions for property takings (eminent domain).

His first two academic articles, one on two-sided markets and a second on individual rights, were published last year in Economics Letters and Politics, Philosophy and Economics respectively. A third article, "The Price Theory of Multi-Sided Platforms", is forthcoming in the American Economic Review and a fourth, "Economic Contract Theory Tests Models of Mutualism", which is joint with three biologists, is forthcoming in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.  His first book, Simon Kuznets: Cautious Empiricist of the Eastern European Jewish Diaspora (edited jointly with Stephanie Lo), is under contract in two volumes with Transaction Publishers.  His current research includes:

• Studying the role of materialistic creative genius in justifying the institution of entrepreneurship using a multidimensional screening model (joint with Jean Tirole)
• Building a general framework for the competition of multi-sided platforms (joint with Alexander White)
• Developing a rigorous foundation for the "first-order" approach to merger analysis implemented in the draft United States Horizontal Merger Guidelines (joint with Sonia Jaffe)

Glen served as a preceptor (teaching assistant) for Financial Economics I, a second-year PhD asset pricing course, at Princeton and has been a guest lecturer in several classes at Princeton and TSE. He is currently advising the dissertations of Alexander White at TSE and Scott Duke Kominers at Harvard, as well as the senior thesis of William Weingarten at Harvard. He is also a referee for scholarly journals including the American Economic Review, where he received an award for excellence. He has been an academic visitor at universities and ministries in Brazil, Chile and Mexico, as well as a research intern at the US Department of Justice Antitrust Division and has received grants to support his research from the Milton Fund, the Harvard Real Estate Academic Initiative, the Sloan Foundation and Microsoft Corporation.

Outside his academic life, Glen serves on the advisory board of Esopus, an art magazine. He plans to marry to Alisha C. Holland; his girlfriend since freshman year of college, a Harvard Ph. D. student in government and the winner of the Pyne Prize (Princeton's highest undergraduate honor); in August.
