Ludwig Straub (born August 8, 1987) is a German economist who has been a professor of economics at Harvard University since 2024.[1][2] His research focuses on macroeconomics, particularly the role of household heterogeneity in macroeconomic dynamics.[3][4]
Born in Germany, Straub received a B.Sc. in physics from LMU Munich, before completing Part III of the Mathematical Tripos at Trinity College, Cambridge.[2] He received a PhD in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2018, where his doctoral advisor was Ivan Werning.[1][2]
From 2018 to 2019, Straub was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University, where he became an assistant professor in 2019.[2] He became an associate professor at Harvard in 2023, and a full professor of economics in 2024.[2]
Straub has been a faculty research fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research since 2019, a research associate in macroeconomics and finance at the CEPR since 2022, and a member of CESifo since 2019.[2][3][5] In 2026, he was awarded the John Bates Clark Medal, for his contributions to the incorporation of agent heterogeneity into macroeconomic modelling.[6][4]
