Jean-Laurent Rosenthal is Rea A. and Lela G. Axline Professor of Business Economics and executive officer for the Social Sciences, California Institute of Technology. He received a Bachelor’s degree in History from Reed College (1984) and a Ph.D. from Caltech in Social Science (1988). He was awarded Clauser dissertation Prize at Caltech in 1988, an NSF young investigator award in 1992 and a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2001. He taught at UCLA’s department of economics from 1988 to 2006. His research focuses on understanding what institutions encourage economic growth and wealth formation.
